AI Build & Consult Night: Where Engineers Meet Small Businesses

​Build & Consult Night
September 2 · 5–9 PM

​The first-ever working session that puts AI engineers and small business owners at the same tables with real problems to solve.

​No slides. No speakers. No pitches. Just people in a room working on things that matter.

​How it works

​When you arrive, you’ll see a board organized by challenge category:

​Marketing & Content · Customer Service · Inventory & Operations · Scheduling · Accounting & Finance · Research & Data

​Business owners post a one-sentence problem.
Builders browse, pick something that fits their skills (or curiosity), and start working — or talking it through — right there.

​Nothing on the board speak to you? Work on your own project, pair with another engineer, or just meet people. The room is yours.

​Schedule

​5:00 — Doors open. Food, drinks, open seating. Browse the problem board.
5:30 — Brief welcome → open working session begins.
7:00 — Keep going, switch problems, or help someone else.
8:00 — Optional demo showcase (3 min each). Sign up anytime at the board.
9:00 — Wrap. Stay and talk or head out.

​Who should come

​Small business owners (DFW)
Have a challenge you think AI might help with? Come with a problem — leave with a direction or a contact.

​AI engineers & builders
Work on real problems, meet other builders, and actually use your skills. No deliverable, no judging, no pressure.

​Beginners welcome. Curiosity is enough.

​Food and drinks provided. Come for all four hours or just the parts that work for you.
