AI Builders Night & Hackathon Closing Ceremony @ Cesium HQ
Details
Join Code & Coffee Philly for our first meetup at the brand-new Cesium/Bentley office in the historic Curtis Building, right in the heart of Center City!
AI is changing how we build software, from day-to-day dev workflows to entirely new product capabilities. This is a night to hear real, practical stories about how engineers and companies are actually using AI right now.
What to expect:
- 🎤 Featured speakers on how they use AI in their workflows and products — including a look at how AI shows up inside the Cesium/Bentley geospatial platform
- ⚡ Lightning talks from YOU — got something you're building with AI (or anything else)? We want to hear about it
- 🏆 Closing & Award Ceremony of the Agentic AI Hackathon!
- 🍕🍻 Food and drinks before and after the talks - come early to mingle, stay late to keep the conversation going
