AI + Breakfast in Waterloo (w/ The AI Collective)
Start your Saturday morning with a relaxed AI community coffee in Kitchener, just before the Buildathon.
We are simplifying the experience to focus on where the best conversations happen. Instead of splitting the morning, we begin with a single entry point and move into the day together.
Expect good conversations and a chance to connect with builders, operators, and curious minds across the KW ecosystem.
What to expect
A casual coffee setting to meet before the Buildathon
Open conversations around AI, startups, and what people are building
A small group format where everyone can participate
Schedule
9:30 AM — Meet at Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters
10:30–10:45 AM — head to Super9s Buildathon
11:00 AM — Buildathon at 283 Duke St W
3:00 PM — Post-build lunch mixer at The Crazy Canuck
Coffee
Smile Tiger Coffee Roasters
We may adjust seating based on group size or split into smaller groups.
