SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.

SUMMARY:Demo + Challenge Night
DESCRIPTION:​Builders only. No fluff.\nBring what you’re working on. Share for 5 min.\nThen put your biggest blocker on the table.\nHear thoughtful feedback from peers. \n​You’ll rotate through small groups of serious builders\, get direct feedback\, and leave with clearer next moves—not just ideas. \n​Limited capacity. Only a few spots left for presenters. \n​Light food and drink provided.

SUMMARY:Platform Engineering & AI - San Diego
DESCRIPTION:​Join us for an exciting exploration into the world of open source\, platform engineering and AI! This meetup will feature engaging talks on key technologies and practices driving innovation. \n​🎤 Speaker Lineup & Talks: \n​Tristan Baker | Distinguished Engineer @Intuit \n​✨ Intuit Data Strategy \n​Intuit’s data strategy positions the company to deliver intelligent and data aware internal tools for its developments teams\, and highly personalized and intelligent experiences for its customers. This talk will get into some of the details of the data strategy\, and discusses where Intuit is headed next. \n​Rocio Montes | Senior Engineering Manager @ Github \n​✨ Scaling Engineering Leadership with AI \n​Engineering managers operate across a constant stream of signals\, from monitoring and incidents to project updates and team activity. In this session\, Rocio will share how she uses AI as an aggregation and reasoning layer to turn that signal into action. \nShe will cover practical workflows such as generating structured updates\, analyzing alert patterns and monitor health\, summarizing team activity\, and extracting insights from leadership inputs. The focus is on integrating AI into existing tooling to improve signal quality\, decision speed\, and execution. \n​Arash Izadi | Senior Software Engineer @ RVO Health \n​✨ What is Devbox and why you need it? \n​Jetify Devbox is a simple\, reproducible way to define exactly what tools your project needs so every developer\, CI job\, and environment runs the same setup\, every time. Instead of brittle README steps or snowflake laptops\, Devbox gives you fast\, isolated\, Nix-powered environments that work out of the box and update safely. Teams should adopt it because it kills “works on my machine\,” speeds up onboarding to minutes\, and makes local dev and CI finally boring\, in the best possible way. \n​Agenda:\n\n\n​5:00pm: Check In Opens \n\n\n​6:00pm: Kickoff \n\n\n​6:00pm – 7:30pm: Demos/Talks \n\n\n​7:30pm – 8:30pm : Networking & Happy Hour \n\n\n​This meetup is a great opportunity to connect with fellow engineers\, learn about cutting-edge technologies being utilized at Intuit and beyond\, and engage with the open source community. \n​We look forward to seeing you there! \n\n​About Intuit Open Source: \n​​​Intuit is committed to open source. Not just as an end user of open source software\, we maintain and contribute to many tools and actively participate in many open source communities\, including CNCF\, Istio\, GraphQL\, Web and Mobile ecosystems. Please join our open source community on LinkedIn where we share updates\, best practices and look forward to conversations with the community! \n\n​Please note this event is restricted to individuals aged 21 and above due to venue regulations.

SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.

SUMMARY:AI Camp & Post-Event Social at Karl Strauss
DESCRIPTION:PLEASE NOTE: THIS INVITE IS FOR THE POST EVENT HAPPY HOUR ONLY. TO REGISTER FOR THE MAIN EVENT\, PLEASE HEAD TO https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026032617 \nThe demos might end at 7\, but the build continues.\nWhile the main February A.I. Camp 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 Camp San Diego community down the road to Karl Strauss Brewery to keep the momentum going. \n⏱ The Full Circuit \nTo maximize the night\, we’re scaling our networking in two phases: \n5:00 PM – 6:45 PM | The Main Event @ Google Deep dive tech talks on AI\, GenAI\, LLMs and Agents\, hands-on experiences on code labs and workshops. \n7:00 PM – 7:15 PM | Migration Google clears the room; we move the conversation to the brewery. \n7:15 PM – 9:00 PM | AI Tinkerers After-Hours @ Karl Strauss The dedicated space for low-latency\, builder-to-builder networking. \n🚀 Why Join the After-Hours? \nWe skip the fluff and sales pitches during the demos\, and we keep that same energy at the brewery. This is your time to: \nDeep Dive: Grill the presenters on the technical architecture they just showcased. \nDebug & Debate: Discuss the trade-offs of the latest frontier models over a Red Trolley Ale. \nConnect: Meet engineers and founders from firms like NVIDIA\, Google\, and RabbitAI who are actually shipping AI products. \nWhether you’re looking for 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. \n📍 Logistics \nLocation: Karl Strauss Brewery (Sorrento Mesa) \nAddress: 9675 Scranton Rd\, San Diego\, CA 92121 \nTime: 7:00 PM – 9:00 PM \nVibe: Casual\, technical\, and a strictly “no-pitch” zone.

SUMMARY:VibeCraft Power Hour
DESCRIPTION:VibeCraft is a recurring\, collaborative working session where ideas turn into experiments and experiments turn into real builds. Each session is shaped by the group. We review what is emerging\, explore new directions\, and decide together what is worth building next. \nThis is not a presentation or a passive meetup. It is an active\, hands-on environment where members contribute ideas\, react to each other’s work\, and influence the direction of future sessions. Expect open discussion\, live demos\, shared whiteboards\, and practical exploration. \nSessions may include live walkthroughs of tools\, automations\, and AI agents\, discussions around product and company design\, rapid demos from members\, and breakdowns of different approaches to building with modern AI systems. Topics evolve over time\, but the focus remains the same: learning by doing\, building in public\, and exploring a high-tech\, high-touch future grounded in curiosity\, collaboration\, and thoughtful design. \nCome ready to participate\, share what you are building\, and help shape what we explore next as a VibeCraft community.
