A hands-on, code-first meetup for builders working with foundation models and generative AI. Expect live demos, deep technical discussions, and practical takeaways you can ship.

AI Tinkerers Edmonton returns on Wednesday, June 24th, 2026 for an evening of technical deep dives and live, raw demonstrations. This is a curated gathering for active builders—engineers, researchers, and developers—who are actively shipping code with LLMs and generative AI.

We follow the Homebrew Computer Club ethos: demos first and code deep-dives. Attendance is limited to practitioners who can share their stack, agentic workflows, or implementation challenges. Space is limited and our events are highly demanded, so please register early.
