What it is
Let's Talk AI (full name: Let's Talk AI: Flair, Cocktails and AI Chats) is the meetup of the AI Leaders Romania community. It is not a technical conference and it is not a sales event. It is the third option: small-group conversation between engineers, founders, managers, consultants and people using AI for the first time. The experts learn what adoption looks like on the ground. Everyone else learns from people who have shipped AI to production.
When and where
- First Thursday of the month, from 18:30, in Bucharest.
- Each edition's venue is announced on Meetup when registration opens.
- Each edition is named after its month, for example Let's Talk AI, July 2026.
How to register
On Meetup only. Entry is free, but seats are limited by the venue, so reserve yours. Between editions, the community stays in touch in the WhatsApp group.
How an evening goes
- Arrival and a drink. You introduce yourself to the people next to you: who you are, what you do, what you are looking for.
- Small-group conversation around everyone's question: where are you in your AI adoption right now, and who in this room has already solved your next problem?
- No presentations. Sometimes one speaker with a well-prepared idea and questions from the room. Never panels.
- Nobody sells anything and nobody uses the room to pitch their own company.
The first editions
- June 2026, the first edition, under AI Leaders Romania.
