GenAI in Practice:Spreadsheets Got You This Far. Now See What You Can Build in a Single Evening with AI on Your Side.

This event counts towards the two-hour GenAI CPD requirement under the revised PS 1, effective 1 October 2026.

Join your peers for a fast, friendly night of building knowledge together. Team up with new colleagues, tackle a real challenge from the insurance market, and leave with something that works, plus ideas worth borrowing.

What to Expect

  • Real-World Inspiration: Kick off with lightning talks from the host and practitioner, showing how they use AI in their day-to-day work.
  • Build, Don't Listen: A collaborative, hands-on night, not a lecture.
  • New Faces, New Angles: Mixed teams.
  • Real Problems, Real Market: Challenge themes grounded in Hong Kong insurance!


Who Should Join
Whether you've built tools for years or never tried AI, you'll be right at home. Curious beginners are welcome.

What to Bring

  • A laptop or iPad, and your AI application of choice, free or paid (for example Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, Manus, Grok or Perplexity), with your account set up before the night.
  • A bit of nerve and team spirit.

Challenges will be revealed on the night.
