Stamford AI Meetup | Lightning Talks/Open Mic | w/ The AI Collective
Hey Techies,
Join us for Open Mic Night at Point Café in Stamford.
Come and share what you’ve been working on. Or pose a question to the room and start a group conversation on a topic you’re interested in learning more about.
Open Mic Night is a chance for you to get up in front of the audience and show us what you’re workin’ with (or on). Bring your laptop, if you’d like, or just ask a question. We’ll open the floor for answers.
(No bogarting the mic - you’ll have a max 5 minutes to express yourself.)
So come see what your peers are working on in Stamford, get inspired, and network with us at the next Stamford AI Meetup - Tuesday, November 3, 2026.

WHO WE ARE
We are a monthly gathering of technologists, investors and entrepreneurs in Westchester and Fairfield County focused on Generative AI. On the first Tuesday of every month, we bring the startup element of the old Stamford Tech Meetup back to Stamford when several technology companies take to the stage and have 5 minutes to show us what they do.
WHAT WE DO
Connect + Educate + Promote
Stamford AI Meetup provides a no-judgment zone where people come together to connect, learn and grow in the ever-changing Gen AI landscape.
We’ll give companies an opportunity to demo their product to a captive audience, get real time feedback, introductions to potential employees, customers and partners in and around Fairfield County.
