​Demos. Not Decks.

​A Local AI Show & Tell | Entrepreneurship in Action

​What are you building, making, or exploring with AI?

​AI Coachella Valley (AICV) invites you to an evening of live demonstrations, interesting conversations, and new connections with the people bringing AI to life right here in the Coachella Valley.

​No lectures. No sales pitches. No slide decks.

​Just real people showing what they're working on—whether it's a new AI agent, a business idea, a creative experiment, an app, a marketing tool, an automated workflow, or something we haven't imagined yet.

​This isn't a workshop, a class, or a hackathon. It's an opportunity to see what's possible, exchange ideas, ask questions, and meet others who are exploring how AI is changing the way we create, work, and build businesses.

​Who should come?

​Engineers, developers, founders, entrepreneurs, brand strategists, marketers, designers, writers, artists, educators, and creative thinkers.

​Already building something with AI? We'd love to see it.

​Just getting started, or curious about what others are doing? You're equally welcome.

​You don't need to be technical, and you don't need a project to attend. Curiosity is enough.

​The Evening

​5:30–6:00 PM | Food, Drinks & Welcome

​Grab a bite, meet your neighbors, and connect with the region's growing community of AI enthusiasts and builders.

​6:00–7:30 PM | Demos, Not Decks

​Short, live demonstrations of real projects and experiments, followed by questions, discussion, and feedback. Works in progress are welcome. We want to see what's being built, hear what's working, and learn from what's not. Separate Application Required to Demo.

​7:30–8:00 PM | Conversations & Connections

​Keep the conversations going. Exchange ideas, meet potential collaborators, and discover what others are working on.
