All of us can agree AI is the future—but the playbook is still being written.

We're hosting an invite-only roundtable for AI builders from across the Greater Bend Area. This event will bring together 20 local founders, engineers, and functional leaders for honest conversations about building AI products. We'll share what's actually working, the failures we're learning from, and the practical lessons you won’t find in a LinkedIn post. 20 seats, zero pitches, 100% real talk. $10 all in.

**What to Expect**

* Curated roundtable discussions
* Practical tips you can bring back to your company and team immediately
* Networking before and after with food, drinks and peers

**Why Attend**

* Compare notes with builders who share your challenges
* Walk away with real tactics and a stronger peer network
* Shape the collective playbook for leading in Bend’s evolving tech landscape

**Who Should Apply**
Anyone building with AI full-time.

This is an **invitation-only** event with a simple application process. We're curating for diverse perspectives and genuine challenges, not just success stories.
