New! AI for Good Meetup - AI Coach to Develop Skills for the Future
Description changed:
This project seeks to develop a tool that would help to accelerate and simplify the adaptation of the workforce for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
The tool, in the form of an AI coach, would be an end-to-end talent reskilling platform that automates talent skill mapping, identifies future skill needs, and bridges the two by finding personalised critical paths for reskilling and real job opportunities.
We would utilize machine learning technology to analyse every person’s skill pool and potential, against the labour market of the future. The aim is to find the quickest and most cost-efficient way for every person’s professional development. Moreover, lowering entry barriers to training and education would benefit the less educated, women, ethnic minorities and young people, who are particularly exposed to unemployment in the face of the decline of lower-wage occupations. Whilst our jobs can be replaceable or redundant, the people behind them are capable of evolution, adaptation and co-creation of the 'new consumer economy, focused on eradicating poverty, eliminating biases and closing the wealth gap all over the world.
A World Economic Forum report estimates that by 2025, 85 million jobs may be displaced by machines, but 97 million new roles may emerge due to a new dynamic between people and technology. The need to continually refresh skills and stay relevant for the future of work is at the top of the agenda for everyone from individuals to Fortune 500 companies.
We are looking for passionate volunteers to help us in any of the following areas:
- Product
- Data Science / Data Engineering
- Backend and Front End Software Support
- UX/UI Design

AI for Good Meetup - Data to Combat Violence and Abuse in Relationships
Description changed:
This is a meetup to focus on data and technology-based solutions, aiming to combat violence and abuse in relationships.
In recent months we contacted, interviewed, and ran workshops alongside Charities large and small. It has become very apparent that the resources for support towards people in abusive relationships is very fragmented.
We believe in an idea to build a complete service, that has victims and survivors at its core, making available all relevant information and putting them in directly contact with the appropriate support network according to the stage of their journey. They could simply need reassurance to make a positive decision, may need legal help, need shelter or financial support. It will also consider their background or whether they are from marginalised groups - such as LGBTQI and or migrant women.
Our mission is to support with the help of data and tech whoever is in an abusive relationship knowing there are tools, services, and groups they can connect to. This is without forgetting the role technology itself can play as a tool for abuse, so, among others, we face the challenge to build a support platform that is secure, safe, invisible, and anonymised.
To do so, we would like to invite YOU to provide input and collaborate on a pilot project with the following skills:
- Digital Marketing and SEO Experts
- Designers
- Developers
- Data Analysts
- Data Scientist
- Data Engineers
- Academic Researchers
If you have those skills or know anyone has - please join and invite your friends to this meetup by sharing this page link with them. Furthermore, we welcome people from all backgrounds as long as they are passionate to collaborate and use their skills for the greater good.

Join this AI for Good project that aims at combatting climate misinformation and the spread of climate-related fake news.
As the project moves forward, we are realising the big impact it could actually have, and that is really really exciting. However, we are also realising that we truly need as many hands as possible to help and that there are certain skills we currently do not have in the team!
Our aim is still to build a tool in order to help people identify articles about climate change that are not scientifically accurate or simply not true. This tool, called Climate Battle Cards, will be in the form of a plug-in that would be available to install in any browser and that will flag those arguments against climate change that are not accurate and provide the reader with scientifically reviewed counter-arguments.
We are looking for volunteers to help us in any of the following areas.
- Climate change research
- Marketing
- Product
- Data Science / Data Engineering
- Backend and Front End Software Support
- UX/UI Design
Furthermore, we are now creating new teams for organisational purposes, which means we are also looking for team leaders! See this document for more info on the teams: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiJkhbZkgGmP9ONsF8RyDivzqC8Ty6BLawENDEQLEko/edit#heading=h.1a6pv57slern
You DON'T need to have any academic or professional experience in order to help! It’s sufficient with motivation and will to learn!
It is, honestly, a really fun project that has great potential. So if you are interested in climate change, or if you want to build your experience in Data Science and add a cool project to your portfolio or if you are simply looking for a fun side-project please do join the meet-up on Wednesday.
Please find more information on this leaflet: https://bit.ly/3uQ8QEk - which highlights our need for marketers and designers!

Hi Instigators,
Face to Face networking events are back and general consensus is that we build better relationships in person than online.
About this event please buy tickets here: https://bit.ly/3ofZCjS
Effective networking is not just achieved on the night. We all know that we have to follow up on those connections we make. The night is about making those connections, not about selling your services or products. And being inspired and energised by new ideas, new connections, new projects too!
What if you knew beforehand who you need to meet, or if the people attending know who you are and what you provide? You already know that you are going to meet interesting people, perhaps a prospective client or a supplier or a useful connection.
And if you want your message to stand out, you can choose one of the elevator pitches.
London Connector hosts effective networking events. They are well attended with businesses from every industry, all looking for someone like you. The organisers do everything they can to connect you to the people that you would like to meet, from a pre-event WhatsApp group with the other attendees of the event through to effecting the introductions that you want to make.
And the main organiser Duccio Zambrini can also be contacted directly on Linkedin www.linkedin.com/in/duccio-zambrini-b869033/
Do not delay and register today!
Kindest regards,
Zee & Team

How a new wave of innovators are trying to use tech to empower survivors of gender-based abuse.
Is technology a weapon, or a force for good?
An estimated 2.3 million adults aged 16 to 74 years experienced domestic abuse in the last year, according to the Office of National Statistics. Unfortunately technology has played a big part in that. In our highly connected world, abusers can use technology against victims to monitor, threaten, harass, and hurt them. Experts also say that the pandemic has likely made the problem worse.
But not all is bad! In the UK, a landmark law passed in 2020 has made it illegal to use technology to track or spy on partners or ex-partners. The law specifically defines this kind of online abuse as a form of domestic abuse.
Moreover, there are many organisations using tech to empower victims and help them out of their abusive relationships. We are seeing a wave of new technological innovations, including platforms and apps to address gender-based violence and and promote gender equality.
This online event will bring together 4 incredible speakers to discuss how tech can be used to help and empower victims, and highlight the work that still needs to be done to end gender-based-violence.
Our speakers for the evening are:
Naomi Naidoo, Chayn (https://chayn.co/)
Naomi Alexander Naidoo is Movement Builder at Chayn, building Chayn’s movement fighting gender-based violence around the world. CHAYN is a global volunteer network addressing gender-based violence by creating intersectional survivor-led resources online.
Naomi will be speaking about Chayn's work supporting survivors through open-source, accessible technology. She'll talk about how Chayn has built innovative new digital service offerings to meet demand through lockdown, their work fighting tech abuse, and the importance of intersectional, trauma-informed, survivor-centric design.

Tessa leads Collaborative Future, a social enterprise actively advocating for a society where everyone is valued and empowered.
Tessa will share her personal story of experiencing gender-based sexual violence to demonstrate how, when done well, technology can serve as a tool for justice and healing, but that more often than not our technology mirrors and echoes our culture of violence, dominance and disempowerment. She'll share practical examples of how everyone striving to build new, more equitable systems or tools need to work on personally unravelling their social conditioning in order to not replicate the harm our existing systems inflict on people.
Alice Piterova, AI For Good (https://www.aiforgood.co.uk/)
Data and AI have the potential to solve big societal problems. The challenge lies in identifying where to direct focus, to ensure that this powerful and yet very nascent technology is used to do good and actually drives lasting positive outcomes. Alice from AI for Good UK is going to talk about rAInbow, the friendly chatbot designed to provide a safe, non-judgmental space for all those at risk of abuse to get help and valid information on this very private and sensitive matter.
This is a meetup to focus on data and technology-based solutions, aiming to combat violence and abuse in relationships.
In recent months we contacted, interviewed, and ran workshops alongside Charities large and small. It has become very apparent that the resources for support towards people in abusive relationships is very fragmented.
We believe in an idea to build a complete service, that has victims and survivors at its core, making available all relevant information and putting them in directly contact with the appropriate support network according to the stage of their journey. They could simply need reassurance to make a positive decision, may need legal help, need shelter or financial support. It will also consider their background or whether they are from marginalised groups - such as LGBTQI and or migrant women.
Our mission is to support with the help of data and tech whoever is in an abusive relationship knowing there are tools, services, and groups they can connect to. This is without forgetting the role technology itself can play as a tool for abuse, so, among others, we face the challenge to build a support platform that is secure, safe, invisible, and anonymised.
To do so, we would like to invite YOU to provide input and collaborate on a pilot project with the following skills:
- Digital Marketing and SEO Experts
- Designers
- Developers
- Data Analysts
- Data Scientist
- Data Engineers
- Academic Researchers
If you have those skills or know anyone has - please join and invite your friends to this meetup by sharing this page link with them. Furthermore, we welcome people from all backgrounds as long as they are passionate to collaborate and use their skills for the greater good.

AI for Good Meetup - Data to Combat Domestic Abuse and Violence
Description changed:
This is a special edition meetup focused on data gathering and analytics to combat domestic abuse and violence.
Over recent months, thanks to an experienced charity worker, we got in contact with big and small charities and noticed how they produce and collect data but don’t know how to make the most out of it (such as providing better and more support to those experiencing abuse, being more efficient, fundraising, etc.). So, we agreed we would find possible ways to put charities in contact with data experts as well as researchers in academia.

How a new wave of innovators are trying to use tech to empower survivors of gender-based abuse.
Is technology a weapon, or a force for good?
An estimated 2.3 million adults aged 16 to 74 years experienced domestic abuse in the last year, according to the Office of National Statistics. Unfortunately technology has played a big part in that. In our highly connected world, abusers can use technology against victims to monitor, threaten, harass, and hurt them. Experts also say that the pandemic has likely made the problem worse.
But not all is bad! In the UK, a landmark law passed in 2020 has made it illegal to use technology to track or spy on partners or ex-partners. The law specifically defines this kind of online abuse as a form of domestic abuse.
Moreover, there are many organisations using tech to empower victims and help them out of their abusive relationships. We are seeing a wave of new technological innovations, including platforms and apps to address gender-based violence and and promote gender equality.
This online event will bring together 4 incredible speakers to discuss how tech can be used to help and empower victims, and highlight the work that still needs to be done to end gender-based-violence.
Our speakers for the evening are:
Naomi Naidoo, Chayn (https://chayn.co/)
Naomi Alexander Naidoo is Movement Builder at Chayn, building Chayn’s movement fighting gender-based violence around the world. CHAYN is a global volunteer network addressing gender-based violence by creating intersectional survivor-led resources online.
Naomi will be speaking about Chayn's work supporting survivors through open-source, accessible technology. She'll talk about how Chayn has built innovative new digital service offerings to meet demand through lockdown, their work fighting tech abuse, and the importance of intersectional, trauma-informed, survivor-centric design.
Cat Ainsworth, The Dot Project (https://www.dotproject.coop/)
Over the past year and a half DOT PROJECT has supported charities supporting survivors of sexual abuse and domestic violence. Their work has focused on moving services online and supporting organisations to create a strong foundation for their digital technology approach in order to maintain and sustain their services for the long term. In this talk DOT PROJECT will share a few case studies from our recent work.
Despite being a victim of gender-based sexual violence in her late teenage years, Tess left education at 18 and rapidly progressed in her career through the Guardian, Comic Relief and FutureLearn where she became Director of People. Tessa launched Collaborative Future in 2018, a social enterprise actively advocating for a society where everyone is valued and empowered.
Tessa will share her personal story around physical gender-based violence. She'll demonstrate how when done well technology can serve as a tool for justice and healing, but that more often than not our technology mirrors and echoes our culture of violence, dominance and disempowerment. She'll share practical examples of how everyone striving to build new, more equitable systems or tools need to work on personally unravelling their social conditioning in order to not replicate the harm our existing systems inflict on people.

Discovery is a process carried out at the beginning of a digital project. It's likely to include researching to find out what your users need, what motivates them and how they experience the world. It can also involve analysing the problem you are looking to solve, developing a hypothesis and creating tools like personas and user need statements.
We'll hear from some small London charities and social enterprises as they share learning from participating in the National Lottery funded Catalyst Discovery programme during 2020. How was the process for them? What are their tips for success? What did they go on to develop (or not)?
We're delighted that we'll be joined by:
* Naomi Louse from Therapy 4 Healing - https://www.t4h.org.uk
* Anna Woolf from London Arts in Health Forum - https://www.lahf.org.uk
* Kehryse Johnson-Fraser from Bubble Theatre - https://www.londonbubble.org.uk
Join us to learn and share experiences - we'll be building in networking time and asking for your suggestions for future sessions too.
Please RSVP and we'll send Zoom joining instructions nearer the time.

As the project moves forward, we are realising the big impact it could actually have, and that is really really exciting. However, we are also realising that we truly need as many hands as possible to help and that there are certain skills we currently do not have in the team!
Our aim is still to build a tool in order to help people identify articles about climate change that are not scientifically accurate or simply not true. This tool, called Climate Battle Cards, will be in the form of a plug-in that would be available to install in any browser and that will flag those arguments against climate change that are not accurate and provide the reader with scientifically reviewed counter-arguments.
We are looking for volunteers to help us in any of the following areas.
- Climate change research
- Marketing
- Product
- Data Science / Data Engineering
- Backend and Front End Software Support
- UX/UI Design
Furthermore, we are now creating new teams for organisational purposes, which means we are also looking for team leaders! See this document for more info on the teams: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1NiJkhbZkgGmP9ONsF8RyDivzqC8Ty6BLawENDEQLEko/edit#heading=h.1a6pv57slern
You DON'T need to have any academic or professional experience in order to help! It’s sufficient with motivation and will to learn!
It is, honestly, a really fun project that has great potential. So if you are interested in climate change, or if you want to build your experience in Data Science and add a cool project to your portfolio or if you are simply looking for a fun side-project please do join the meet-up on Wednesday.
Please find more information on this leaflet: https://bit.ly/3uQ8QEk - which highlights our need for marketers and designers!
Or simply join our slack and ping a message on #climate-misinformation channel: http://bit.ly/2p8icye - there you can ask us about anything!
Agenda:
18:00-18:15 A round of introductions and updates
18:15-19:00 Breaking into teams to discuss different tasks (research, marketing, product, data, tech, design UX/UI)
NB! Please join before 18:15, because after it we will switch to a different platform
PS Before you join this meetup, please sign the T&Cs regarding data usage and the overall rules of contributing to our community projects.
AI for Good Meetup - Data to Combat Domestic Abuse and Violence
Description changed:
This is a special edition meetup focused on data gathering and analytics to combat domestic abuse and violence.
Over recent months, thanks to an experienced charity worker, we got in contact with big and small charities and noticed how they produce and collect data but don’t know how to make the most out of it (such as providing better and more support to those experiencing abuse, being more efficient, fundraising, etc.). So, we agreed we would find possible ways to put charities in contact with data experts as well as researchers in academia. Read more here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/15E418mFqZ8CdsHFvFlplJYA28Jkx3Tr4cnLOfofv9vc/edit?usp=sharing.
At this point, we would like to invite Data Analysts, Data Scientists, Data Engineers and Academic Researchers in the Combat Domestic Abuse & Violence space to provide input and collaborate on a pilot project.
If you are one of those or you know anyone with a relevant skillset - please join and invite your friends to this meetup by sharing this page link with them. Furthermore, we welcome people from all backgrounds as long as they are passionate to collaborate and use their skills for the greater good.
Some house rules to join this meetup:
- Please sign the T&Cs regarding contributing to community projects: http://bit.ly/2lW5NLR
- Join our slack to stay tuned: http://bit.ly/2p8icye
Agenda:
18:00-18:10 Introduction

We are hosting an interview style discussion with founders, investors and eco-system partners in the fintech sector globally touching upon decentralized finance, blockchain technology, cryptocurrency, digital securities and discussing industry trends, challenges, corporate and investment strategies.

Business Summary: Tokeny Solutions
Tokeny Solutions allows financial actors operating in private markets to compliantly issue, transfer and manage securities using distributed ledger technology, enabling them to improve asset liquidity.
Due to disconnected and siloed services that are currently used to enforce trust, private markets experience poor asset transferability with little to no liquidity. By applying trust, compliance and control on a hyper-efficient infrastructure, Tokeny Solutions enables market participants to unlock significant advancements in the transferability and liquidity of financial instruments.
Tokeny Solutions is the leader in its field and in 2020 were named one of the top 50 companies in the blockchain space by CB Insights. They are backed by Euronext.
