How to Think Like an FDE
Bring your laptops, it's time to get hands-on!
The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) is one of the most sought after and lucrative roles in AI today. Join us for an interactive introduction to the mindset, methods, and mission of the Forward Deployed Engineer. Participants will engage in interactive scenarios and leave with practical tools they can immediately apply in their own work.
And don't forget — we've got FREE PARKING VALIDATIONS for you tonight, courtesy of Nimble!
Who this is for: Developers, founders, ops people, the AI-curious — anyone who wants to stop watching demos and start building. Bring your laptops and be ready to participate!
