​// FAQ

  • ​What is AI Builders? A nonprofit community of 8000+ AI builders running 100+ events a year across Amsterdam, Berlin, London, Lisbon, Rotterdam & Miami. All volunteer-driven. All in-person. Maximum community vibes since 2023.

  • ​Why the donation? 1) So we can count heads (venues have max capacity, pizza has a shelf life) 2) Sponsors don't cover everything yet. Every euro goes back into the community.

  • ​Can I co-host? Message Ilya if we still need co-hosts, or grab a free ticket. You arrive 1.5h early, help with setup and welcoming. In return: you meet literally everyone. Fastest networking hack we know.

  • ​Can I speak? Apply at aibuilders.club/speaking. Every lineup is picked from there, so a demo with working code beats a pitch deck.

  • ​⚠️ I'm not technical - can I come? Absolutely. But to get the most out of it, you should be comfortable with concepts like LLMs, RAG, AI agents, and API calls. Not sure what those mean? Ask any chatbot - that's what they're for.

  • ​Why bother going to meetups in 2026? 80+ builders in the room. 8000+ in the community. Talks with actual code, not thought-leadership slides. Good pizza. Bad jokes. The kind of conversations that turn into side projects, first clients, and startups.
