🎙️DEMO SIGNUPS🎙️
We’re on the lookout for speakers! Want to showcase your latest AI project or share your findings?

No slides, no pitches — just your terminal, code, and lessons learned.

We welcome demos featuring any AI tools, frameworks, or platforms you’re working with.

Demos are capped at 4 minutes, with up to 6 minutes for questions. No pitches! We’re eager to see your raw and exciting WIPs! 🛠️ The best talks are the ones that drive engaging audience participation and questions. Excellent!

What to expect

• Live, working demos and code-first sharing. No slides and no pitches.
• Demos should focus on the build: how you wired tools, what stacks you used, and concrete engineering tricks.
• Demos are typically short (4–6 minutes) with quick Q&A to follow. Visuals should be large (≥24pt) and code/configs should be explorable.
• Networking and Science Fair-like demo zone during the networking hour to surface side projects and prototypes.
• We welcome raw, glitched demos that push edges and surface concrete lessons learned.

How to participate

• Answer the custom screening question: What is your recent AI tinkering project and how would you contribute to the meetup?
