• Who is this for?

  Engineers, ML/AI practitioners, and technical leaders shipping AI to production, and people who want to learn from them. If you build, deploy, evaluate, or operate AI systems at work, this is for you.

• Do I need to be technical?

  The talks assume an engineering audience, we don't dumb things down. You don't need to be a senior staff engineer, but you should be comfortable with terms like eval, agent, inference, and prompt. PMs, designers, and AI-curious folks are welcome; the talks just won't be aimed at you.

• What's the format?

  Two practitioner talks per night (~25 min + 10 min Q&A each), with mingling before and after. Doors at 6:00 PM, talks start ~6:30, wrap by 8:30. No sponsor pitches, no panels, no "future of AI."

• Is it recorded?

  Some talks are recorded with the speaker's consent; some aren't. Recordings and slides land on the event recap page within a week. Subscribe to the newsletter to get the recap.

• Can I bring colleagues?

  Yes, please. The best meetups are full of people you'd want to work with. Forward the Luma link.

• Where is it?

  Cambridge, MA (Kendall Square area). The specific venue is shared with registrants on Luma once you RSVP.

• How much does it cost?

  Free for attendees. We're supported by venue partners and a small number of sponsors who serve the audience. If you want to help, see the Sponsors page.

• How often does it happen?

  Monthly in Boston. NYC and SF are on the roadmap. Subscribe to the newsletter to hear when they launch.

• Is there a Slack or Discord?

  Not yet. We're collecting interest to gauge demand. If you'd like to be invited when the Slack opens, drop your email below.

• How do I speak at an event?

  See the Call for Speakers page. The bar is high (real production stories from practitioners), but we read every pitch.

We're collecting interest for a private Slack for AI Runtime practitioners, speakers, engaged attendees, and subscribers who want a place to share production lessons between events. Drop your email and we'll invite you when it opens.
