About this event
AI moves fast, but the best way to understand what actually works is still simple: see real people show what they’re building, how they’re using the tools, and where things get messy. This meetup brings together curious builders, coders, and AI-minded people in Amsterdam for a practical, social, show-and-tell-style evening focused on one question: how do you actually use AI well? Part of World AI Week Amsterdam and hosted in the spirit of Vibe Coding, this is an in-person gathering for people who want less hype and more signal. Expect demos, examples, conversations, and a room full of people exploring autonomy, coding workflows, creative experiments, and everyday AI use from a hands-on angle. What Is This? This event is a meetup built around live sharing. Instead of a polished conference format or a passive lecture, the emphasis is on people showing what they’ve been trying with AI: tools, workflows, prototypes, coding setups, prompts, automations, experiments, and lessons learned. The “Show & Tell Edition” framing matters. It means the energy is practical and conversational. You’re not expected to have all the answers, and you do not need to arrive as an expert. The value comes from seeing concrete examples, hearing how others think through their process, and getting exposed to different ways people are applying AI in real situations. Because this sits at the intersection of meetup culture, coding culture, and AI curiosity, the room is likely to be broad in the best way: people building side projects, people refining professional workflows, people interested in autonomous systems, and people who simply want to better understand what’s possible right now. This is also an in-person event, which changes the dynamic in a good way. It gives you space to ask follow-up questions, compare notes, meet collaborators, and have the kinds of conversations that usually do not happen in a comment thread or a webinar chat box. What to Expect You can expect a structured but relaxed evening centered on sharing and discussion. The core of the event is likely to be short presentations, demos, or walkthroughs where attendees and contributors show how they use AI in practice. That can include things like: AI-assisted coding workflows and development setups Experiments with autonomy, agents, or automation Prompting approaches that improved output quality Small tools, prototypes, or side projects Lessons from things that failed, broke, or produced unexpected results Practical ways AI is being used in day-to-day work The meetup format makes room for both learning and interaction. Rather than sitting through long talks, you should expect an evening that moves between showing, discussing, and connecting. That means there is value whether you come ready to share something specific or just want to listen, learn, and meet others. There is also a strong chance that some of the most useful moments will happen between the formal parts: quick conversations before things start, questions after a demo, or a spontaneous exchange about a tool you have been meaning to try. If you like learning through examples and conversation, this format is especially strong. Why Attend If you’ve been curious about AI but tired of vague takes, this meetup offers something more useful: direct exposure to how people are actually working with these tools right now. You get to see real approaches, not abstract opinions. For builders and coders, the benefit is immediate. You may leave with a better workflow, a new tool to test, a smarter way to structure your process, or a clearer sense of what is worth your time. Seeing someone else’s setup often shortens your own learning curve. For people interested in autonomy and emerging AI behaviors, this is a chance to hear how those ideas are landing in practice. Not as distant theory, but as things people are trying, debugging, and adapting in the real world. There is also the community factor. AI can be exciting, isolating, overwhelming, or all three at once. Being in a room with people who are actively exploring similar questions helps you calibrate faster, learn more honestly, and find others who care about building thoughtfully. Practical Details This is an in-person meetup in Amsterdam, Netherlands, taking place on Wednesday, October 8 at 5:30 PM GMT+2. If you value face-to-face conversation, live demos, and meeting people beyond a screen, that is a big part of the appeal here. The event sits within World AI Week Amsterdam, which gives it a timely context while keeping the meetup energy grounded and accessible. It is not about watching from the sidelines; it is about showing up, engaging, and being part of the conversation around how AI is actually being used. A few good ways to prepare: Come ready to learn from concrete examples Bring questions about your own AI workflow, coding practice, or experiments If you have something interesting to share, be ready to talk about it simply and honestly Leave room for conversation before and after the main program Whether you are deep in AI already or just starting to move from curiosity into practice, this meetup is designed to make that next step easier. You will leave with sharper ideas, better context, and a stronger sense of the people and projects shaping this space locally.
Who should attend
This is for you if you want practical AI conversations with people who are actively building, testing, and figuring things out in real time. - You’re a **developer, technical builder, or coder** who wants to see how others are using AI in real workflows, prototypes, and side projects. - You’re **AI-curious but selective** and want grounded examples instead of hype, especially if you learn best by seeing tools and processes in action. - You’re exploring **autonomy, agents, or automation** and want to compare notes with others experimenting at that edge. - You work in a role where AI could improve your output, and you want **practical ideas you can adapt quickly** rather than broad trend talk. - You like meetup formats that are **social, conversational, and demo-driven**, where asking questions and meeting people is part of the point. - You’re based in or around Amsterdam and want to connect with a **local community of thoughtful builders and AI users** in person. If you enjoy learning from real examples, swapping lessons, and meeting people who are actually doing the work, you’ll likely feel at home here.
