    THEIA EVENTS

    AI ON THE ROCKS · EDITION 01

    AI in practice: we build an app live.

    From label to digital booklet

    In about 30 minutes an app takes shape in front of you that recognises whisky labels and turns them into a digital booklet. Then you try the app yourself.

    • Thursday, 12 November 2026, 17:30 to 20:00
    • Level −1, Theia Solutions AG, Wasserwerkstrasse 2, 8006 Zurich

      Use the entrance directly on Wasserwerkstrasse. Our office is in the same building as S-GE.

    • By invitation: we send the invitations personally.

    The evening

    1. Built live. In about 30 minutes an app takes shape that recognises whisky labels. We show how we built it.

    2. Tried yourself. You photograph the labels with your phone. The app recognises distillery, region, age and cask and adds background and notes.

    3. To take home. Your scans end up in a digital booklet you keep.

    Schedule

    1. 17:30

      Arrive: A QR code at the entrance takes you to the app.

    2. 18:00

      Welcome: The idea behind the series.

    3. 18:05

      Built live: About 30 minutes, including your first own scans.

    4. 18:30

      Tasting: Four whiskies in small amounts, about 2 cl each, with details on distillery, region, age and cask. Each comes with an alcohol-free alternative.

    5. 19:15

      Conversations: Talk and finger food.

    6. 19:45

      Wind down: A short look ahead at the next edition.

    7. 20:00

      End

    Good to know

    • Bring your phone: the app runs in the browser, there is nothing to install.
    • Without alcohol too: every whisky comes with an alcohol-free alternative.
    • Ages 18 and over.
    • Please come by public transport.

    AI on the Rocks is planned as a series: the app from the first evening gains a feature with every edition.

    Frequently asked questions

    An evening on AI in practice: in about 30 minutes we build an app live that recognises labels and turns them into a digital booklet, and the guests try it out straight away. AI on the Rocks is planned as a series.

    AI on the Rocks is by invitation; we send the invitations personally. There is no registration on this page for it. You can register for the Theia Tables evenings here.

    Nothing. At Theia Tables evenings, taking part, food and drinks are free, and there is no minimum spend.

    No. Poker Night is a free tournament with no stakes: everyone starts with the same number of chips, the chips have no cash value, and there is neither a buy-in nor re-buys. We do not play for money at our evenings, not even after the tournament.

    No, with one exception. We explain poker, Catan, Risk, Dune: Imperium and Gwent at the table, and beginners are explicitly welcome. For Magic: The Gathering we play Commander, so you need to know the basics and bring your own Commander deck.

    At Table Nights, yes: you can simply have a drink, watch and join the conversation. Poker Night is a tournament with 12 seats for players; if you would like to watch it, just ask us beforehand.

    Anyone aged 18 or over. You do not have to be a Theia client.

    For Theia Tables evenings, right here on this page: pick an evening and enter your name and email. You receive an email with a confirmation link, and clicking it reserves your seat. If the evening is full, you join the waiting list and move up automatically as soon as someone cancels.

    Theia Tables evenings in our office at Wasserwerkstrasse 2, 8006 Zurich, level −1. AI on the Rocks takes place at changing venues; we name the venue with each date and in the invitation.

    At Theia Tables evenings we sometimes take group photos for our website and LinkedIn. If you would rather not be in them, just tell us on the night and we will not publish photos in which you can be recognised. We only publish individual portraits with your consent.

    We do not use an event platform: we store your name, your email address and your favourite game in our own registration database, hosted in the EU. We use them only to organise the evenings and delete them 12 months after the evening. We only tell you about new dates if you tick the box when registering. The details are in our privacy policy.
