**Meet & Greet: Coffee + Agentic AI Talk ☕**
Kicking things off casually. No slides, no presentations — just coffee, conversation, and meeting the people in Brooklyn (and beyond) who are building, deploying, and thinking about agentic AI systems.
Come hang out, swap notes on what you're working on, and help shape what this community becomes. Whether you're shipping agents in production, exploring governance and observability challenges, or just agentic-curious and want to learn from others in the space — you're welcome here.
**What to expect:**

* Casual intros and open conversation
* A chance to share what you're building (or wrestling with)
* Input on topics, formats, and speakers for future events
* Good coffee ☕

**Who should come:** Engineers, researchers, product folks, founders, and anyone working on or curious about agentic AI — especially the unglamorous but critical stuff: governance, observability, evals, safety, and running agents responsibly at scale.
No agenda, no pressure. Just show up, grab a coffee, and say hi.
