​***Builder Circles* are small, invite-only sessions where experienced practitioners exchange hard-earned insights on building real systems. Each circle focuses on a single topic, bringing 20 experts together for honest, high-signal discussions no slides, no fluff, just depth.**
​We’re trying something new beyond your typical meetup.
​This pilot session is an **expert-led, peer-to-peer session** for practitioners who’ve actually *built* or *worked with* systems involving **LLMs and confidential data**.
​No spectators. No vendor pitches. No Talks. Just a small group of people who know what they’re doing, getting together to compare notes, exchange ideas, and dig into what’s *really* working and what isn’t.

​**🧠 What to Expect**
​We’ll kick off with a quick intro from the hosts, followed by a **round-robin** where every participant shares:

* ​What they’re working on
* ​The key challenges or open questions they have
* ​Anything interesting they’ve built, learned, or want feedback on

​Then we’ll move into a **guided discussion** around core questions — pre-collected from the group and refined live, based on the room’s interests. Expect deep dives, hard questions, and genuine insights — not conference talk fluff.

​**💡 Why This Exists**
​Workshops are great , but they take time to prepare and often end up one-directional.
​This format is lighter, sharper, and way more valuable:
​A **closed-door mastermind session** where everyone contributes, learns, and leaves smarter.
​Only **20 people** will be admitted. Not one more.
​If you’re actively working with LLMs and data privacy, this is your room.
​If you’re not , sit this one out.

​**⚙️ The Plan Going Forward**
​This is the **pilot session** of a new event series.
​If it works, we’ll host one of these every one to three months — each focused on a specific frontier topic in machine learning, data, and AI systems.
​We’re building a community of builders who want to go beyond theory and talk about what’s actually happening in the field.
