☕️ Codex Community Meetup-San Francisco #12
Codex Community Meetup in San Francisco
Guest Speakers from the Codex Team SF
Join us at 📍Sports Basement in San Francisco for an interactive evening for builders, founders, engineers, creators, students, and anyone curious about how Codex is changing the way people build.
No coding background is required. Whether you already use Codex every day or are exploring coding agents for the first time, you are welcome.
Come meet the community, hear real-world Codex use cases, see demos, make new connections, and take part in an evening designed around participation rather than passive listening.
