AI Tinkerers Dubai returns for a Saturday session focused on active builders. This is a technical demo day for engineers, researchers, and founders working with foundation models and generative AI. We prioritize working code over slide decks and technical discovery over product pitches.
Expect 4 to 5 live demos from builders across the UAE. Each presenter has 15 minutes to show their stack, explain what they discovered, and discuss what broke during implementation. Every session is followed by a direct Q&A with the room.
📅 Event Details
- Date: Saturday, June 13, 2026
- Time: Doors open at 11:30 AM. Session starts at 12:00 PM. Ends at 2:00 PM.
- Location: Dubai, UAE. Exact venue shared with confirmed attendees upon approval.
- Cost: Free to attend.
Attendance is strictly limited. We screen every registration to ensure the room is composed of people who build. A GitHub profile is required for all attendees to verify active technical work.
🎙️ Submit Your Demo Proposal
We are looking for builders to show their work. We welcome work-in-progress, early-stage prototypes, and messy experiments as long as they run live.
The Rules for Demos:
- Show, Don’t Tell: Run your project live. No slide decks allowed.
- Expose the Internals: Share your stack, prompt strategies, and architectural trade-offs.
- Teach, Don’t Sell: Focus on the technical implementation, not a market pitch.

🧪 Science Fair & Networking
Following the main stage demos, we host a Science Fair segment. This is an informal venue for builders to set up stations for one-on-one technical walkthroughs. It is designed for early-stage work that benefits from direct peer feedback. The event concludes with food, drinks, and open networking among the local builder community.
