AI Builder Meetup: Open 2-Hour Social Mixer Founding Members Kickoff
AI Builders, Founders & Execs:
If you're someone who's obsessed with building AI automations every day and scaling your business... you're in the right room.
We're talking Claude Code, OpenClaw, Manus, etc.
Tacos are on Austin Distel, founder of Agentic Society and ex-CMO @ Jasper — the AI company that went from zero to $1.5B in 18 months — so skip the lunch plans and meet some wicked smart people in Austin.
Expect small-group discussions on how AI Agents and Agentic Workflows are reshaping how companies operate, grow revenue, and lead teams in 2026.
You do not need to be technical. Many of the most successful AI adopters today are non-technical leaders using AI to multiply their teams and output.
No pitches, panels, or presentations. Just real talk with fellow AI Builders, Founders, and Executives who are figuring out how to turn AI into real leverage inside their companies.
Breakout Groups — Round 1 (choose your track)
Each small group is led by a community member with hands-on experience in that area.
Group A: Building an AI Chief of Staff How to build your first AI agent that handles scheduling, research, briefings, and decision support — so you get your time back and your team gets clearer direction.
Group B: AI CMO How to build an AI Director of Marketing that runs lead gen, ad creative, content, and campaign strategy — without adding headcount.
Breakout Groups — Round 2 (choose your track)
Group A: AI Builders Roundtable Open discussion for operators who are actively building agents. What's working, what broke, what you wish you'd known. Early wins, honest fails, real tools.
Group B: CEO & Execs AI Rollout Strategy For leaders who need to deploy AI across their team, not just use it themselves. How to build the culture, create the systems, and lead your company into the Agentic Workforce.
