From idea to working app: a Replit workshop
Most people have read about vibe coding. Far fewer have built anything with it. In 45 minutes, you will, on your own laptop, guided by an engineer from Replit.
Vibe coding sounds like a party trick. It isn't.
Describe an app in plain English and get working software back. It sounds like a demo that only works in the room, but people are already building real internal tools this way while most of their peers are still reading about it. This session is the short way across that gap: you do the building yourself, and you leave with an app that runs.
Four reasons this is worth your time
You leave with a working app
Something you built yourself in the room, running and ready to show your team the next morning.
You build it yourself.
On your own laptop, in Replit, with an engineer from their London team beside you.
No code required
You describe what you want in plain English. If you can write an email, you can build an app.
Straight from Replit
Led by Replit’s own engineers, one of the platforms defining how vibe coding works.

Forty-five minutes, hands on
An engineer from Replit shows you what vibe coding is, builds a real app live in front of you, then hands you the keyboard. Scan a QR code, open Replit on your laptop and build your own, step by step, with the team on hand. You leave with it working.

aiblLIVE is a working day, not a spectator sport.
A handful of formats carry the day, each with a clear job, and your pass is the whole event: follow one track end to end, or move freely across all five tracks and every format and build your own day. You are never tied to a single track.
At the centre is the Discovery Zone, the working hub that runs from the first coffee to the closing drinks.
Operator case studies
15 minutes from leaders who have put AI into production: the problem, the workflow, the result.
Hands-on workshops
45 minutes building with real AI tools on a real business challenge. Bring a laptop, leave with a workflow.
Live demos
Real tools on real data, run by the operators and partners who built them. Ask what worked, what broke and what it cost.
Boardroom roundtables
45-minute closed-door peer discussions under the Chatham House Rule.
Smart Networking
Meet the peers and partners worth your time, in a room that is 78% C-suite, MD or business owner.
Micro-consultations at the Expert Bar
Pre-booked 20-minute one-to-one appointments with specialists, matched to the challenge you bring.
Frequently asked questions
Is the workshop included in my aiblLIVE pass?
Yes, it is included with your pass. Workshops are open to any delegate, so there is no booking needed. This one runs twice on the day, at 14.30 and 16.45, so come to whichever suits you.
Do I need to be technical?
No. If you can use a web browser, you can build along. It is built for business people in any function, not developers.
Do I need to set anything up?
No. Everything you need is emailed before the event, so just bring a laptop.
What should I bring?
A laptop. You build your app on it and leave with it working.
How long is it?
45 minutes.
Will I actually leave with something I can use?
Yes. You leave with a working app you built, and a real sense of how quickly you can get started.
