AI is captivating the interest of programmers, tech enthusiasts, and creatives alike; the rapid progress made in AI and LLMs has made previously gatekept technology accessible to everyone. While this is an exciting development, it brings forth a challenge: AI has made rapid developments but it’s not perfect yet - how can we ensure our products are market-ready and minimize the risks to us as creators? How do we move beyond the realm of chat GPT party tricks and chatbots and use AI as a tool to create truly remarkable products? How do we take our demos and turn them into something market-ready?

Get your hands dirty with SignalWire developer tools as we teach you how to use AI and real-time communications to build working products and functioning prototypes you can take home with you. This isn't the kind of networking event you’re used to - leave behind the pressure, discomfort, sales pitches, and awkwardness; enjoy a refreshing approach centered around meaningful connections, valuable insights, knowledge sharing, and a fun, engaging atmosphere. Meet us in Chicago to pick the brains of industry experts as they share their experience creating live products built around artificial intelligence.

Oh - and maybe take home one of our exclusive prizes!
