🛠️ Stop Procrastinating, Start Building

We all have that one AI project, experimental agent workflow, or custom model integration we have been putting off. This is your night to bring your laptop, open your IDE, and actually build it alongside a supportive group of active technical peers.

On Thursday, June 11, 2026, AI Tinkerers Bedford is hosting a hands-on Build Night at Alexander Technology Group. This is not a passive lecture or a networking mixer for spectators. It is a focused, collaborative environment designed for developers, engineers, and researchers to write code, debug in public, and make concrete progress on generative AI applications.

💻 What to Bring & What to Expect
  • Your Laptop & Charger: Essential for writing code and running local models.
  • An Active Project or Idea: Come ready with a concrete concept, repository, or API key to start building immediately.
  • No Slides, No Pitches: The focus is entirely on working code, structural design, and technical troubleshooting.
  • Collaborative Debugging: Tap into the collective intelligence of the room to unblock latency issues, model evals, or agentic loops.

📅 Event Schedule & Logistics
  • Date: Thursday, June 11, 2026
  • Time: 5:30 PM - 8:30 PM
  • Location: Alexander Technology Group, Bedford, NH (The exact venue address will be sent automatically to approved attendees)
  • Capacity: Capped at 20 builders
