The companies that help us put on better meetups
The AI Runtime is independent and practitioner-first. A small number of partners make the meetups happen: Microsoft hosts the space in Kendall Square, NVIDIA covers the food and drinks, and HackerSquad is the technology partner. A genuine thanks to all three.
Practitioner-grade partners
- Microsoft Space Partner
Microsoft hosts our Boston meetups, the room in Kendall Square where practitioners gather, and brings the platform many of them ship on: Azure AI Foundry, Entra ID, and Agent 365.
- NVIDIA Food & Drinks Partner
NVIDIA covers the food and drinks at our Boston meetups, keeping practitioners fed while they talk shop. Also the compute stack many reach for when training, evaluating, and serving models at production scale.

What we offer
-
Space host
Host an upcoming meetup. Capacity for ~40 practitioners, A/V for two talks, space to mingle. We bring the audience and the program; you bring the room. Microsoft currently hosts the Boston space.
-
Refreshments
Cover food and drinks for one or more events. Logo on the event page, mention from the stage, name in the recap. NVIDIA currently sponsors this.
-
Build events, demo nights & hackathons
Beyond talks, we run hands-on build events, demo nights, and hackathons where practitioners ship real things with your tools in the room. Sponsor a format, set a challenge, or put your platform in front of builders.
-
Credits & compute partner
Provide API credits, GPU time, or platform access for our build events and hackathons. Practitioners try your product on a real problem, the highest-signal way to earn adoption. Credits partners, and partners beyond compute, are welcome to reach out.
-
Platform partner
Multi-event partnership. Co-marketing across the newsletter and a growing practitioner community, the events site, and on-stage acknowledgements. Limited to partners whose product or platform serves AI practitioners directly.
