Global AI Makers: In-Person Mixer
Fri, Aug 28, 1:00 AMNo keynotes. No panels. No name badges with your job title in tiny font. Just a room full of builders, founders, operators, investors, and people figuring out what AI makes possible — and enough time to actually talk to each other like human beings. The Global AI Makers Live Mixer is a structured in-person networking event for the AI builder community. We run intentional icebreakers, themed conversation tables, and curated introductions so you leave with real connections instead of a stack of business cards you will never follow up on. Every element of the format is designed to create the kind of accidental hallway conversation that only happens at the best events. This event is for AI founders and startup CEOs at any stage, no-code and low-code builders shipping products without a traditional engineering team, vibe coders using tools like Cursor, Bolt, Base44, Lovable, and Replit to build fast, AI agent developers and prompt engineers, tech professionals exploring what AI means for their industry, operators and product leaders integrating AI into existing businesses, investors looking for the next generation of AI-native founders, and anyone who is building something and wants to be around other people who are doing the same. Conversations at our events cover what people are building with AI right now, which no-code and vibe coding tools are actually working, how founders are using AI agents to replace entire workflows, what the AI startup landscape looks like from the inside, and who in the room can help you move faster on whatever you are working on. Show up on time. Come ready to meet someone you were not expecting to meet. *Note: Date may change to accommodate guest speakers and venue availability.
