Get in front of builders shaping what comes next.

AI Tinkerers gives technical partners direct access to curated rooms of engineers, founders, and researchers actively shipping AI systems.
We protect the room so sponsors meet real builders, not spectators.
Every room is curated for active builders: engineers, researchers, founder-operators, and teams shipping real systems.
Access is earned through technical relevance. Sponsors show up with useful tools, hard-won lessons, and real reasons builders should care.
Get your API tested by builders who ship
Real usage notes from engineers choosing their own stack. No survey decks, no paid reviews.
Recruit from code, not résumés
Hire senior ML and infra engineers by seeing their work in context, not just a profile summary.
See the roadmap before it ships
What serious builders are adopting this quarter, months before the next annotated trend report.
Land the engineers who drive adoption
Every AI tool lives or dies on its first few hundred serious users. This is where they are.
Build credibility your CTO respects
No pay-to-speak, no hype slots. Showing up here is a signal, not a line item.
One partnership, every major AI city
200+ cities worldwide. Global reach with local depth, in one conversation.
Ways to Partner
Partnership, not placement. The best programs earn relevance with builders before asking for attention.
Sponsor a single meetup or VIP dinner in one city. Put your logo, talk, or demo in front of a curated room.
- One event, one city
- Logo on event page and on-site
- Optional 5-min talk or demo slot
- Attendee roster (opt-in)
A sustained presence across a set of chapters. The tier most partners pick because one event isn't enough to move a dev-marketing number.
- 3–6 chapters of your choosing
- Speaking and demo slots
- VIP dinner or hackathon included
- Newsletter and sponsor-page context
- Quarterly reporting and warm intros
Lead partner across the rooms. Custom formats, hackathons, newsletters, and research for model companies, infra leaders, and strategic bets.
- All chapters, global coverage
- Custom hackathons and themed events
- Dedicated research and pilot access
- Co-branded content and newsletter lead

Prices are starting points. Every partnership is shaped to your goals.

Thank you for organizing the event. It is a wonderful space to meet others that are also passionate about building things.
It was my first event. The community was welcoming and great! Appreciated the demos and examples with practical applications.
This was my first time attending the event, and getting to present was so much fun! Looking forward to attending more!
