Scaling Physical AI @ CoRL 2026: Sim2Real & Post-Training Afterparty

​What takes a robot from an impressive demo to a useful real-world deployment and what comes next?

​Join us during CoRL 2026 for an evening of drinks and dinner with researchers, founders, and investors working on physical AI. We’ll mingle first at the cocktail hour 6–7 pm, then sit down for a private dinner.

​Be ready to dig into sim-to-real, post-training, and what it actually takes to get robots working outside the lab. No panels, no slides, just good conversation over a great meal.

​It’s a chance to step away from the conference and meet the people building the future of robotics.

​📍 Venue disclosed upon approval | 🕖 6:30 – 9 PM
Seats are limited and registration is approval-based.
