Why AI Tinkerers is Different

AI Tinkerers stands out through its rigorous screening and focus on community demos. We ensure that everyone you meet is valuable and worth your time, thanks to our careful curation process. Our events prominently feature technology demos from practitioners, creating a unique environment conducive to meaningful collaboration and learning.

Call for Demos

We invite attendees to present short (5-minute) technical demonstrations of novel and interesting projects they’ve built. If you’re interested in giving a lightning talk or demo, please indicate this when you register. Remember, these should be technical demonstrations, not pitches or promotional talks.
