Hard Things
We're excited to announce Hard Things, a new invite-only event series co-organized by Mavka and Foley & Lardner LLP, dedicated to the innovators and breakthroughs shaping Physical AI — the shift from cloud-based intelligence to AI embodied in machines and real-world systems.
From robotics and autonomous systems to AI-powered manufacturing and edge computing, Physical AI is redefining how intelligent machines interact with the physical world. Hard Things brings together the founders, investors, and ecosystem partners who are building at this frontier — for candid conversations about what it actually takes to ship atoms, not just bits.
