build first
We make AI practical. Projects before panels.
65labs / the collective
you are the scene.
A builder community is not an audience. It is the people who show up, share what they know, try the unfinished thing, and help each other ship.
keep the door open
Engineers, beginners, and the AI-curious are all welcome.
ship culture
Events should send you home itching to make something.
events / show up and make things
built for builders.
hackathons
Focused build days for ambitious experiments, fast prototypes, and new collaborators.
meetups
Practical conversations with people deep in the work, followed by time to meet the room.
hands-on builder sessions
Smaller sessions for demos, co-working, workshops, and showing what you shipped.
community / in the room
made by the people who turn up.
Meetups, demos, hackathons, and the conversations that happen between the scheduled parts.
