AI Tinkerers Durango returns on Wednesday, June 10th, 2026 for a focused evening of code, architecture, and technical exchange. We prioritize raw, working implementations and deep structural discussions over high-level pitches or slide decks. This is a curated space for active developers, researchers, and builders to share the technical hurdles they have overcome and the architecture behind their AI projects.

Our gatherings are highly technical and designed for a room full of builders. To maintain this environment, registration is curated based on technical merit and active builder status.

We are looking for 3 curated developer talks for the main stage. Following feedback from our members, we are playing with length and depth for one of these slots to allow for a longer, detailed educational deep-dive.

If you are building with foundation models, generative AI APIs, or local deployment stacks, we want to see your architecture, your configs, and your raw code. No high-level sales pitches—keep it highly technical.

Submit Your Talk Proposal

Summer Hiatus Notice

This will be our final scheduled monthly meetup before the summer. If you or your team would like to organize a meeting in July or August, please reach out to the organizers. Otherwise, we will take a summer hiatus and restart our monthly cadence in September.
