Not tolerated — welcome. At the venue:

Noise is fine. Crying, babbling, a lap of the room mid-talk — all completely normal here.

Nappy changing facilities on site or in the room.

Two babies crawling across the room at the pilot

Space to roam — crawl, feed, change in the room — events designed with babies in mind.

Event FAQs

Where can I feed and change my baby at the event?
Wherever suits you. The event is informal, relaxed and set up with babies in mind — many feed (breast, bottle or baby food) and change their babies right there in the room, so they don't miss any of the learning. There are baby changing facilities on site too. If you'd rather breastfeed somewhere more private, there are spaces for this available as well.
Can I store my pram?
Yes. There's step-free access and space for prams — bring the buggy right in.
Are drinks and snacks included?
Yes, drinks and snacks are included with your ticket. Just tell us about any dietary requirements when you book.
What happens if I can't make it after buying a ticket?
Babies don't respect plans — we know. If you can't make it, we plan to start offering a resell option on our ticketing platform so you can sell your ticket on to someone on the waitlist.
Will there be networking?
Yes — gently. There are break-out moments during the event for chatting to other mums, and the WhatsApp community keeps the conversation going before and after (with a separate meet-ups channel just for arranging playdates etc.). Both are great places for making new mum friends.
Do I need to know anything about AI before I come?
No. Everything is beginner-friendly — the room ranges from total beginners to daily users, and no question is too basic.
Do I have to bring a baby?
Not at all. Babies are welcome, but not required.
Does my baby need a ticket?
No — babies come free. One ticket covers you and your baby.
