Talks from teams running agents for real, live demos, and plenty of time to compare notes over food and drinks. We host nights in London, New York, San Francisco and other cities around the world, diving into the most pressing themes in AI and agent engineering: agent memory, multi-agent systems, and what changes when an agent goes from demo to production. A community of 20,000+ [Join on Luma](https://luma.com/surrealdb) EVENTS ## Every night in the series All cities London New York San Francisco Next up ### Multi-Agent Systems Agents in Production is back in London, and this time we're teaming up with Mastra. What changes when it stops being one agent? Shared state between agents, who each one is acting as, and what stops them treading on each other. The move from a single assistant to a fleet is where most of the hard problems start. Expect honest talks from teams running multi-agent systems, live demos, plus food, drinks, and plenty of time for networking. Tue 24 Nov 2026, 18:00 GMT · London [Save your seat](https://luma.com/x386y864) ### Past nights Meetups 12 Oct – 13 Oct 2026 ### [Agents in Production: Durable State](https://luma.com/0efxoblj) Nothing in a demo has to survive the night. Production agents run for days, get restarted, get deployed over, and are still expected to pick up exactly where they left off. For AI Engineer week, SurrealDB is teaming up with AWS and partners on the question underneath all of it: where does an agent's state actually live once the process that created it is gone? Talks from the people building the runtime, the framework, and the layer underneath. Partners and talks are announced soon, so treat this as your placeholder for the 12th. Expect honest talks, live demos, plus food, drinks, and plenty of time for networking.

Then it hits production, a fact changes underneath it, and it answers confidently and wrong. For SF Tech Week, SurrealDB is teaming up with Mastra on the seam between the two layers this actually lives in. Mastra runs the agents and decides what each one needs to know. SurrealDB holds what they know and keeps it true. Get that boundary wrong and no amount of prompting saves you. Expect honest talks, live demos, plus food, drinks, and plenty of time for networking.

Most teams are stitching together a vector store, a graph database, and some middleware - three systems to manage, three potential failure points, and no guarantees that any of it stays consistent. It works until it doesn't. In this meetup, we're looking at what it actually takes to solve this properly. Not a quick fix, not another abstraction layer - memory that's transactional, structured, and built into the database itself. We'll look show what that looks like in practice with Spectron, SurrealDB's brand new agent memory system. We'll also walk through a full-stack knowledge graph RAG system - end-to-end, real code, real trade-offs - plus a guest talk from LangChain. Hard questions welcome. Drinks & pizza on us. Talks Tobie Morgan Hitchcock (CEO, SurrealDB) Spectron: What agent memory looks like when it's built into the database Martin (Solutions Engineer, SurrealDB) Full-stack knowledge graph RAG with agentic memory Igor Repka (Solutions Architect, LangChain) Details coming soon!

Keeping it correct as data changes, memory grows, and systems scale is where things get interesting. This meetup is about what actually holds up in production: fresh context, durable memory, validation, observability, and guardrails that don't collapse under real-world pressure. See what happened Meetups 24 Feb – 25 Feb 2026 ### [Agents in Production: workflows, memory & models](https://luma.com/pt8n7cwe) We've all done a lot of talking in the last few months (years??) about coding agents, advancements in models, and AI slop. In this meetup, we're bringing all of this together as our speakers talk about how to squeeze even more out of AI so you can actually ship something you're proud of. See what happened Meetups Tue 27 Jan 2026 ### [Knowledge Graphs & Agents](https://luma.com/beqdb9vy) We're kicking off our first meetup of 2026 with a practical deep dive into knowledge graphs + agents. The focus will be on clean graph retrieval patterns: querying a knowledge graph without unnecessary abstraction, keeping type-safety, and getting end-to-end observability (not just LLM calls).

We look for engineers who have put agents in front of real users and can show what happened next. ### Running in production Systems with real users and real traffic, including what broke and how you fixed it. ### Technical depth Architecture, code and numbers. Not product pitches. ### Your stack Talks cover the whole agent stack, from orchestration and evals to memory and security. How it works 1. 01 Send us your idea. It takes about five minutes. 2. 02 We get in touch about an upcoming night in your city. 3. 03 You speak at our event! ### Apply to speak We reply to every application.
