An exclusive meetup for artificial intelligence (AI) leaders and builders is set to take place in Islamabad this Saturday, 24 October 2026, at Gulberg Greens, in collaboration with Vibestreet Community. The gathering will bring together founders, industry experts, and leaders from the private and public sectors, and the organisers have confirmed that spots are limited.
The meetup is designed around three practical goals. Participants will get the chance to discover what is currently being built with AI, explore opportunities that cut across different industries, and identify real-world challenges that are worth solving together. That framing moves the conversation away from abstract discussion about the technology and toward concrete problems and the people who might be able to address them. For founders, it offers a room where early ideas can be tested against the views of experienced practitioners. For industry experts, it is a chance to see what local teams are actually shipping. For leaders from the private and public sectors, it is a direct way to understand where AI can be applied to operational and policy challenges, and what kind of partnerships might be needed to get there.
At the heart of the event is one question: how can Pakistan help shape the AI and agentic economy, and what can be built and commercialised together? The agentic economy refers to a space where AI systems do not just answer questions but act on behalf of people and businesses, handling tasks, making decisions within set limits, and working across different software tools. As this model gains attention globally, the question of where Pakistani talent and companies fit into it carries real weight. The emphasis on commercialisation is worth noting, since it signals that the organisers are interested not only in sharing ideas but in turning them into products, services, and viable businesses that can compete beyond the local market. Bringing founders and public sector leaders into the same conversation also helps surface the practical obstacles, such as access to data and infrastructure, regulation, and procurement, that often slow down promising AI work before it reaches users.
The meetup will be held at Gulberg Greens, Islamabad, on Saturday, 24 October 2026, and interested founders, builders, and leaders are encouraged to secure their place early given the limited capacity. Registration is open through the event page on Luma, and those who want to attend can register here. The event adds to the growing number of community-led AI gatherings in Islamabad, where practitioners, entrepreneurs, and decision makers are increasingly looking for shared spaces to exchange ideas, test assumptions, and build working relationships around what comes next for AI in the country.
