Prague September 2024 Meetup - Report 📸

Hey, Community! We recently held our first-ever n8n meetup in Prague. From the n8n team, @oleg (our AI Engineer), @maxT (Developer Advocate), and myself (Bart, your Community Manager) were there to meet some of our users face to face. It was also timed to catch n8n Ambassador @liam, who happened to be in town. We planned the event around his visit, so it was a nice opportunity for all of us to get together.

We were hosted in the Accenture Song office—a spacious, comfortable venue that worked out perfectly for the evening. Big thanks to them for opening their doors to us! Since half of the attendees were new to n8n, Max kicked things off with a short introduction to n8n, giving everyone a quick overview of what we’re about.

Liam took the next slot to show off the unit testing framework he’s been working on for n8n (which, by the way, you can check out here). Oleg then followed with a demonstration of an AI workflow he had connected to Siri on his Mac, giving a practical example of how n8n can integrate with desktop tools. He also gave us a sneak peek at a new feature we’ve been working on, “nodes as tools,” which will make it easier to integrate external services into your AI-based workflows.

Max wrapped up the presentations by talking about his ‘30 Days of AI Sprint,’ which he’s been working on throughout September. He shared some insights into the AI-driven tools he’s been developing, which sparked a good amount of conversation afterward.

The pizzas arrived along with drinks (Accenture Song offered us a full fridge :raised_hands: ), so we had a relaxed time chatting with everyone about how they’ve been using n8n. It was a great chance to hear directly from people in the community—some who’ve been using n8n for over three years but hadn’t connected with us before!

We’re editing the videos from the presentations and will share them as soon as they’re ready, so keep an eye on this post for updates.

Some Highlights:

  • 15 people attended.
  • Some even traveled from the UK to join us.
  • Liam and his brother took care of recording the talks for us.
  • Our pizza was pre-cut (take that, @geckse!).

Thoughts for next time:

  • Capture more B-roll for the event video.
  • Record speaker slides/screens as it was tough to see in the footage.
  • Reach out to local low-code/AI user groups to broaden the audience.

I am from Egypt and hope to join next meeting and I need to start build the community in Egypt for all n8n Users by supporting from your side to scale the use of the n8n in Egypt

Where in Egypt? I’m also in touch with a user in Alexandria who’s interested.

No way pre-cut Pizza! HOW COME. Such a genius way to automate… the cutting of Pizza! :joy:
