This won’t be a typical event where you just sit and listen. You’ll get to try AI for yourself, take part in interactive activities, compete in challenges, meet new people, and see how technology is already changing the way we learn and build projects.
🔥 At AI Fest, you can expect:
• AI activities and interactive experiences
• Quizzes and challenges

Do you have an idea for a startup? Do you want to introduce her to the audience, get a new perspective and useful feedback? Pizza Pitch 2.0 will allow you to present the project in a free format, refine the idea and establish contacts with the technological community.

It's more than just a pitch. Ideas are discussed here, experiences are exchanged, useful acquaintances are made and further directions of startup development are determined. The participants will try to briefly and clearly talk about the problem that their project solves, the proposed solution and its value.

August 21st 15:00 Shakarim University

Important condition: to participate in Pizza Pitch 2.0, you must register for the Startup Orda incubation program.

Prepare an idea, submit a project and take the next step in the development of your startup on Pizza Pitch 2.0!

What if you no longer needed a large development team to launch an IT product?

Idea → Code → MVP → First users.

All of this can be done with Claude Code and a budget of just $100 per month.

At the meetup, we’ll discuss how AI is changing the rules of the game for founders and product professionals today: what one person can build independently, where the limitations of AI lie, and how to turn a raw idea into a working product.

Speaker — Yerkebulan Saparov, Founder & CEO of Product Masters, with 10+ years of experience in Product Management.

He has contributed to product development at Jabu Logistics (Y Combinator S21), Invictus Fitness, 786 Express, Technodom, and Kcell. He has also worked in entrepreneurship and consulting at Intellimarket.kz and PwC.

At the meetup, we’ll discuss:

how to build an IT product MVP with Claude Code without a large development team;

what can realistically be built with a $100/month budget;

how to turn an idea into a working product — from the first prototype to an MVP;

and most importantly — how far can one person go with today’s AI tools?

If you’ve been putting off your idea because “I need a team,” “I need a developer,” or “It’s too expensive” — perhaps now is the right time to find out whether you really do.

Pizza Pitch — it's time to present your idea!

Do you have an idea that you've been wanting to implement for a long time? Or is there already a ready-made project that you want to show and get feedback on? Then Pizza Pitch is just for you! 🚀

This is a place where in a few minutes you can talk about your project, share an idea, get to know other participants and get useful feedback.

And to add a little excitement, we have prepared a prize pool of 50,000!!

Prepare your pitch, recharge with confidence and come show what your idea is capable of. And the pizza is already waiting! 🍕🔥

The last days of the holidays can be spent profitably.

Summer holidays are already coming to an end, but there is still time to give your child not just a few free days, but new knowledge, skills and impressions Before school, it is especially useful to switch from games and entertainment to something that will help to pump up useful skills, try new things and enter the school year more confidently, which is why Ulytau Hub will host a free IT camp for children aged 10-14

In 5 days , the child will get acquainted with modern technologies and try himself in several directions at once:

Day 1 — IT and artificial intelligence in simple terms + digital security

Day 2 — photo and video generation, design basics and work in Canvas

Day 3 — programming, creating programs and games using AI

🔹 Day 4 — confident performances, presentation of ideas and work with the audience 🔹 Day 5 — Demo Day, IT quiz, presentation of projects and presentation of certificates

This is an opportunity to spend the last days of summer usefully, develop digital and creative skills, learn how to work on your ideas and try things that a child might not have encountered before. Because school will start again, and the ability to use technology has long been not a bonus, but a useful skill.

AI has significantly accelerated product development: hypothesis generation, research, analytics, and MVP assembly now take hours instead of weeks. But accelerating development does not guarantee business growth.

Now the limits of growth are shifting towards product launch, user engagement, and the quality of management decisions.

On August 27, we will hold a webinar and discuss:

— how are roles and processes in product teams changing under the influence of AI;

— how to reallocate resources between development, sales and marketing;

— how is the approach to prioritization and decision-making changing when the speed of hypothesis implementation increases dramatically;

— where AI can give a business result, and where the illusion of efficiency.

Who would benefit from:

• C-level for managers and directors 
• CPOs and project managers 
• To the CEO and founders 
• Business consultants and agile coaches

When: August 27 at 16:00 (Moscow time).  

Speaker: Andrey Batrimenko, Director of the Center for New Product Development at Rostec Academy, expert and tracker at the IIDF Accelerator.
