This is a small, curated gathering with no formal presentations or sales pitches—just deep, meaningful conversations among top AI engineers, researchers, and investors in a relaxed setting. Imagine discussing the frontiers of AI agents, system coordination, and decentralized computing over a chat in a friend's living room with the sharpest minds in the field.
The event features roundtable discussions focused on real technical challenges, along with open networking time. This format is uniquely valuable—you might meet someone who’s solved exactly the problem you're facing from a different angle, form several new professional connections, and leave with concrete collaboration opportunities.
Detailed Schedule
- 16:00 – 16:30 | Arrival. Doors open. Grab a drink. Meet the people building decentralized intelligence before anyone takes the stage.
- 16:30 – 17:15 | Panel: AI Agent Coordination—The Next Big Challenge. Three builders who’ve shipped real products, plus a moderator. Key questions: How do agents coordinate without gatekeepers? What’s the real role of blockchains? Where does human-agent coordination break down?
- 17:15 – 18:00 | Panel: Building the Foundation. VCs investing in AI agent infrastructure discuss what they’re funding, where the gaps are, and what can truly scale.
- 18:00 – 19:00 | Happy Hour. The formal program ends—real work begins. This is where you’ll meet your next collaborator, find someone who can solve your specific challenge, or finally have that technical debate you’ve been drafting in your notes.
Who Should Attend
- People launching AI agents, models, or infrastructure on a decentralized stack
- Builders working on compute networks, coordination layers, or AGI tools
- Researchers exploring open intelligent systems who need collaborators
- Investors or supporters of decentralized AI tech stacks
Event Philosophy
We believe the best technical conversations happen in rooms small enough for real dialogue. No pitch competitions, no demo booths, no investor speed-dating—just engineers, researchers, and builders who want to go deep.
Event Principles
- Product-agnostic
- Ecosystem-first
- Depth
