Vibe. Learn. Connect. ✨
Vibe Coding Showcase Dinner
🗓 Tuesday, September 15 · 6:00 - 8:30 PM
📍 Hudson Grille, Atlanta Midtown - Upstairs
Here's what's happening
You've learned how to vibe code. You've built something with AI. Now it's time to share it.
This is a celebration of builders, ideas, and the power of vibe-coded applications. Over dinner, five local creators will share the projects they've built—their ideas, their process, and what surprised them along the way.
Whether you vibe coded a tool for fun, a solution to a real problem, or an experiment with a new AI model, this event is for sharing, learning, and connecting with fellow builders in our community.
No live demos. No pressure. Just 1-minute videos and great conversation about what's possible when you talk your ideas into existence.
The Showcase
5+ Builders. 5+ Stories. 2.5 Hours.
Each builder will:
Share a 1-minute video of their vibe-coded application in action
Talk about what they built and why
Share which AI tool they used (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.)
Answer questions and connect with other builders over dinner
