🤖🔥 Seoul’s First AI Tinkerers Meetup 🔥🤖

We are gathering active builders, engineers, and researchers in South Korea who ship generative AI applications to trade code, share architectural decisions, and discuss technical challenges.

☝️☝️ Register today—space is limited and our events fill fast. ☝️☝️


What is AI Tinkerers?

AI Tinkerers is a premier global community of active builders, engineers, researchers, and creative technologists who are actively developing foundation models and generative AI applications. We prioritize hands-on technical depth and working code over high-level pitches.

At our meetups, we:

  • Demo working code or a live serverless flow.
  • Dissect technical decisions in public.
  • Swap hard-won lessons with peers.

If you are rolling up your sleeves and building in this space, we want you in the room.


Who is AI Tinkerers for?

We manually screen attendance to active builders with a shared level of expertise to maintain a high-signal, collaborative environment.

✅ Welcome 🚫 Not a fit
Engineers & researchers with live deployments Investors scouting deals
Open-source contributors shipping agent stacks Idea-stage founders hunting co-founders
Product teams debugging latency, evals, finetunes Recruiters, marketers, consultants

Time Program
7:00 PM Doors open & networking
7:30 PM - 8:30 PM Lightning demos
8:30 PM - 10:00 PM Science Fair & builder-to-builder networking

Note: Approved guests will receive exact entry and access details via email.


🎙️ Submit Your Demo Proposal: Show Your Stack

This is a technical show-and-tell for builders, by builders. We want to see your messy experiments, creative hacks, and technical discoveries in action. Your demo should answer: “How did you build this interesting thing?” not “Why should someone use this product?”

We are looking for presenters to cover what they built, how they built it, and what another builder can reuse or avoid. Demos are strictly live code or deployments—no slide decks are allowed, and no product pitches are permitted.

Submit Your Demo Proposal Here


🤝 Partner with the Builders

We maintain a selective sponsorship model: only brands that ship get in. If your company builds infrastructure, models, or tooling that accelerates the work of engineers and researchers, we invite you to partner with us.

🚀 RSVP

We are capped to 30 attendees. We review and approve applications that prove active-builder status (GitHub, LinkedIn, or Twitter/X profiles showing hands-on work with foundation models or managed LLM services).

Fast FAQ

Why is there a screening process?

A builder-only room lets us share unpolished code, raw experiments, and candid failures. We screen for active technical involvement to keep the signal-to-noise ratio exceptionally high.

What are the requirements to get in?

You must provide proof of hands-on work with AI (such as an active GitHub profile with public repos, or Replit) showing projects where you work with foundation models or managed LLM services.

Are slides allowed during demos?

No. We have an absolute ban on slide decks. Presenters must showcase raw, working, or even buggy code and live deployments to demonstrate how they orchestrate models and data flows. Show architecture or sequence diagrams through markdown in your repo if needed to explain concepts.

Can I bring a non-technical guest?

No. Everyone in the room must apply and qualify on their own technical merits.
