Every room is curated for active builders: engineers, researchers, founder-operators, and teams shipping real systems.

Access is earned through technical relevance. Sponsors show up with useful tools, hard-won lessons, and real reasons builders should care.

AI Tinkerers Event

Get your API tested by builders who ship

Real usage notes from engineers choosing their own stack. No survey decks, no paid reviews.

Recruit from code, not résumés

Hire senior ML and infra engineers by seeing their work in context, not just a profile summary.

See the roadmap before it ships

What serious builders are adopting this quarter, months before the next annotated trend report.

Land the engineers who drive adoption

Every AI tool lives or dies on its first few hundred serious users. This is where they are.

Build credibility your CTO respects

Thank you for organizing the event. It is a wonderful space to meet others that are also passionate about building things.

It was my first event. The community was welcoming and great! Appreciated the demos and examples with practical applications.

This was my first time attending the event, and getting to present was so much fun! Looking forward to attending more!
