We’re thrilled to announce our first AI Tinkerers Atlanta meetup of the year, kicking off this January after the holiday season! 🎊

Join us as we bring together a vibrant community of AI innovators and professionals to share ideas, explore cutting-edge technologies, and foster meaningful connections.

What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a meetup designed exclusively for practitioners who possess technical, machine learning, and entrepreneurial backgrounds and are actively building and working with foundation models, such as large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. If you’re deeply passionate about creating LLM-enabled applications, have hands-on experience in building such systems, and are eager to connect with like-minded individuals who share your level of commitment, then this group is the perfect fit for you. With AI Tinkerers meetups taking place in multiple cities, we cater to a dedicated community of practitioners.

Who is this for?

👉 It’s AI Tinkerers, not AI enthusiasts. We screen attendance to active builders with a shared level of expertise in order to create a collaborative environment ideal for early-stage discovery and innovation. Prior attendee stats: This community of 1,533 technical professionals features a robust distribution of expertise, with 65% specializing in AI/ML engineering and 45% in full-stack development. Distinguished by a high density of C-suite leaders and Georgia Tech researchers, the group has successfully launched Y Combinator-backed startups and pioneered agentic AI workflows in fintech and healthcare, establishing a premier hub for high-signal technical collaboration.
