What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a global community of technical builders, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are actively working with foundation models, like large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. This meetup is a space for those who build, experiment, and prototype—not just observe or talk theory.

Who is this for?

This event is designed exclusively for active AI builders—engineers, prompt engineers, researchers, creative technologists, and anyone whose day‑to‑day involves building with AI. We’re not looking for passive observers or general enthusiasts. If you’ve built something real—no matter how messy or experimental—you belong here.

Schedule (subject to update)

5:00 PM – Doors open

8:00 PM – 9:00 PM – Networking over snacks or drinks

Demo Call (Be Bold, Build, Share)

Do you have a half‑finished AI project? A rough workflow, prompt hack, or code snippet that does something clever? Great! We want it. Demos should be code‑first, zero fluff—no pitch decks. Show us the actual work, broken or beautiful. (Screenshots, logs, architectural sketches are okay; but keep it real.)

Submit your demo proposal. Space is limited and participants are selected based on your builder credentials.

Why Join?

Authentic builder‑to‑builder culture—no recruiters or speculative investors allowed. We screen for hands‑on experience only.

Real, in‑the‑weeds technical learning—watch live code, learn hacks, push boundaries together.

Meaningful connections—forge ties with fellow makers who are building with AI right now.

Ready to RSVP?

To join, please sign up with details of your technical background (GitHub, project links, LinkedIn, side projects). This helps us maintain a vibrant, maker‑centric community. RSVP closes one day before, so please register by August 20, 2025.
