Are there any good conferences coming up in London which *aren&#39;t* about tech? I&#39;m bored of watching manels about niche computing concepts, being cornered by cryptobores, and endless discussions about AI. What fun, ideally free or cheap, conferences can you recommend? (Personal recommendations please. I know how to search Eventbrite.)

@Edent@mastodon.social Well the chemistry conferences definitely won't be cheap and possibly not fun.

@Edent@mastodon.social I was really pleased that both State of the Browser and Web Day Out featured nary a mention of AI.

@Edent@mastodon.social i assume you’ve checked out Interesting 2026? https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/interesting-2026-tickets-1569883246049?utm_experiment=test_share_listing&aff=ebdsshios&sg=fa5f454ecab2356c233313be1a9d8a3bdb7e0a3fd6232b3b5e70167846ca2b52ef5d0e26c8b98bfd456bfdeca3824f9ca7c8e70213c1b6dc63f3c244c89832a3aa664aa7916e0e6a49d9b0

@Edent@mastodon.social “coming up” might be a stretch but Dragonmeet (tabletop roleplaying games and associated geekery) is at the ExCeL on 28th Nov and has seminar tracks (three last year) among its other offerings. https://dragonmeet.co.uk/ (For the sake of disclosure: one of the organisers is a friend)
