🤖 Code-First AI Meetups & Demos for Builders

AI Tinkerers returns to Nürnberg on June 24th for an evening of technical discovery, live demos, and hands-on building. We are a curated community of engineers, researchers, and developers who prioritize working code over slide decks. If you are actively shipping with LLMs, generative AI, or agentic workflows, this is your room.

Our June meetup is happening in collaboration with the Nürnberg Digital Festival as part of their community hub. Attendees navigating the festival ecosystem are guided to our community to connect directly with hands-on AI practitioners.

🗓️ Event Details

• When: June 24th, 2026
• Time: 6:00 PM – 8:30 PM
• Location: [REDACTED] (Access details sent upon RSVP confirmation)
• Format: Live technical demos, deep-dive Q&A, and high-signal networking.

🎙️ Call for Demos: Show Your Work

We are looking for five-minute technical show-and-tells. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in action. Your demo should answer “How did you build this interesting thing?” rather than “Why should someone use this product?”

Submit Your Demo Proposal Here

Guidelines for Presenters:

• No Slides, No Pitches: This is a builder-to-builder forum. Skip the deck and show the implementation directly.
• Expose the Internals: Walk us through your stack, prompt engineering strategies, or orchestration logic.
• Embrace Imperfection: We welcome half-baked, fragile, or buggy builds. If it is technically interesting, show it.
