Before the main stage. Before the thousands. Before [All Things AI 2026](https://allthingsai.org/save-the-date-all-things-ai-2026?utm_campaign=the-countdown-to-all-things-ai-2026-starts-now&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=news.allthingsai.org) becomes *the* moment everyone will be talking about—there’s **[Launchpad](https://www.meetup.com/all-things-ai-live/events/310492346/?eventOrigin=group_upcoming_events&utm_campaign=the-countdown-to-all-things-ai-2026-starts-now&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=news.allthingsai.org)**.

This is where the magic starts. Where a conversation over pizza becomes your next co-founder. Where an idea scribbled on a napkin turns into next year's breakthrough. Where you stop being an attendee and become part of the story.

🚀 **Launchpad Kickoff: December 3, 2025,** The Durham Armory, Durham, NC
