When: Monday, December 14, 2026, 5:30 PM – 8:00 PM ET Where: Improving (Columbus). Exact details are shared with confirmed attendees. Capacity: 150 Registration is open above. These events are popular and space is limited. Submit your talk proposal What to expect Demos: working systems, live terminals, and real configs — not pitch decks. Peer review: tradeoffs, failure modes, and what actually shipped. Builder-to-builder connections across teams in Columbus. Schedule 5:30 PM — Doors open and initial networking 6:00 PM – 6:55 PM — Curated community demos (5 min demo + 4 min Q&A) 6:55 PM – 8:00 PM — Deep-dive networking Who this is for We maintain a practitioner bar. You’re building, shipping, or actively experimenting with: Agentic workflows (multi-tool/multi-agent orchestration) RAG systems and evals Local model fine-tuning or distillation Inference economics (cost per task/token) and reliability engineering What you’ll learn Patterns for moving from autocomplete to autonomous workflows (handoffs, guardrails, and rollback plans) How teams measure and improve cost per task while keeping latency steady Orchestration choices (function calling vs. tool routers vs. graph planners) and their failure modes Practical eval loops: what to track, how to sample, and when to stop tuning Prerequisites (signal, not gatekeeping) Comfortable reading/writing Python or TypeScript Familiar with one LLM API (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, local inference server) Able to run a notebook or small service locally before the event Demo signups We select for high-signal, show-the-build talks. Target 5 minutes live, 4 minutes Q&A. Show your code or workflow runner Explain the decisions, not just the result Call out what broke and what you changed Apply to present Curious what we look for?
