The demos might end at 7, but the build continues.
While the main February A.I. Tinkerers meetup at Google is packed with high-intensity lightning demos and deep technical dives, the clock waits for no one—and Google kicks us out at 7:00 PM sharp. Because the best conversations usually happen in the “hallway track,” we’re moving the entire AI Tinkerers San Diego community down the road to Karl Strauss Brewery to keep the momentum going.

⏱ The Full Circuit
To get the most out of the night, here is how we’re scaling our networking:

• 5:00 PM – 6:45 PM: The Main Event @ Google. We’ll be heads-down in the code with lightning demos on agentic systems, Gemini 3 Flash implementations, and hardware optimizations.
• 6:45 PM – 7:00 PM: Migration. Google clears the room, and we head to the brewery.
• 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM: AI Tinkerers After-Hours @ Karl Strauss. This is the dedicated space for low-latency, builder-to-builder networking.

🚀 Why Join the After-Hours?
We skip the fluff and the sales pitches during the demos, and we keep that same energy at the brewery. This is your time to:

• Deep Dive: Grill the presenters on the technical architecture they just showed off.
• Debug & Debate: Discuss the trade-offs of the latest frontier models over a Red Trolley Ale.
• Connect: Meet the engineers and founders from firms like NVIDIA, Shield AI, and Casper Studios who are actually shipping AI products.

Whether you’re looking to find a collaborator for your next experiment or just want to talk shop with people who know their way around an inference stack, pull up a chair.
