The kinds of people you will meet.

This is a small room for people using AI in real work, not spectators looking for generic takes. The mix matters as much as the topic list: strong operators, technical builders, and domain experts who can compare notes at a useful level.

  • Startup founders and builders shipping AI products and integrating AI into production workflows.
  • Executives, bankers, sales leaders, and operators using OpenClaw automations, Codex, Claude Code, Copilot, Cursor, n8n, and other tools to amplify operations and grow their businesses.
  • CTOs, VPs of Engineering, engineers, and product leaders building agentic apps and workflow automation.
  • Healthcare providers exploring how AI changes clinical workflows, administrative operations, and patient experience.
  • HR leaders using AI to hire better, understand the job market, and spot real shifts in talent demand.
  • Security researchers applying AI in risk and compliance contexts.
