ACM CAIS 2026 Mixer
🚀 ACM CAIS 2026 Mixer — Hosted by EPIC Connector & FounderGro
🎯 The Vibe
Tired of agentic systems that almost work? So are we.
Come unwind with the builders, researchers, and operators who are actually shipping compound AI architectures. This is the unofficial after-hours hang for ACM CAIS 2026 — no slides, no demos, just real conversations with the people behind the papers.
Whether you're presenting research, shipping production agents, or just trying to figure out if your multi-agent pipeline will ever stop hallucinating — this is your crew. No long panels. No pitch decks. No slide karaoke. Just the conversations you came to San Jose for. 🍻
