Who is it for?
Build & Rave is for builders & operators diving deep into AI and it's latest toolings. The content we present is likely technical and we believe the best way to learn AI is to use it and get your hands dirty.
We prioritize authentic conversations & cool demos from operators over fanciness.
If you believe in hard-work, humble about the fact that we all have to figure out how to work with AI and generally don't feel the need to impress others, you might enjoy our event.
Especially: All creatives are welcome.
The Venue
Brand new Futura House by zuberlin.city.
Why Build & Rave?
I organized a co-working session last December in Berlin when Peter Steinberger, installed an early version of what is now OpenClaw on my desktop.
It was the first co-working session I organized it and I liked it - I learned that I connect with people through building and wanted to facilitate this more.
It was also very inspiring to see how Peter works with agents and I enjoyed organising the small little co working session.
I realized that the autonomy of agents will change how we work and since most of my friends work in bigger companies, I wanted to bridge the gap between AI innovation and AI adoption for enterprises, technical and non-technical people alike.
In typical Berlin fashion, I wanted to celebrate this with electronic music, movement, and lots of positive vibes.
