The way we build software is changing. Let's learn together.
A Porto community for engineers and leaders trying new ways of working with AI. Share what you've tried, what didn't work, and what you're still figuring out.
For people making AI work.
Engineers building with AI and the people leading that work belong here.
You don't need to be an AI specialist. Bring a problem you're working through or something you've tried.
What happens on 29 October
You can find a talk or a tutorial on almost anything. What's hard to find is a group of people you can ask when you're stuck, and who'll tell you what actually happened when they tried it.
So the night is built around your questions. The questions on the wall guide the discussion and help us plan future nights.
The Wall
When you arrive, write down a question or a problem you're stuck on. Technical or not. It goes up on the wall.
The Talk
Twenty minutes on something someone built or rolled out, including what didn't work. Then there's time for your questions.
The Discussion
The discussion starts with questions from the wall. We'll keep any we don't get to.
How the room works
No pitches
No sales pitches.
Real systems, real numbers
Show the thing you built, including the part that didn't work. The failures are usually the useful bit.
Independent
Not tied to any AI vendor. Talks cover whatever tools people actually use.
Past events
Every night gets a short recap. What went up on the wall, what the talks covered, and the slides when speakers share them.

Partners
The companies that give us a room, the food or their time. They get a thank-you from the front and a place on this page. Nobody gets a sales slot.

Speak or show something
Twenty minutes on something you built or rolled out. You don't need a polished deck.
