About the Event
Explore Slush by day, fire up your Agents by night: an after-work AI gathering to watch builds, take on challenges, and grab a drink.
Whether you are working on a side project, building production-ready Agent applications, or experimenting with novel AI workflows, developers, product managers, founders, and AI enthusiasts are all welcome.
Beyond Agent showcases and live hacking sessions, cocktails, soft drinks, bottled beer, and snacks are prepared for everyone. Bring a laptop if you want to build, or bring your curiosity if you want to observe. Solo attendees are warmly welcomed.
Event Highlights
Agent Lightning Talks
Three to five curated lightning demos. Watch real outcomes, explore implementation choices, and unpack mistakes along the way. Ask builders directly how they made their agents work.
Agent Battle and Live Hacking
A live hands-on hacking sprint. Whether competing solo or teaming up spontaneously on site, bring your IDE and turn your ideas into functional prototypes.
Trash Demo and Live Voting
Most useful, most useless, or most outrageous: every category is decided by live audience votes. Even without entering the contest, you participate as an active judge.
Open Networking and Vibe
Music, drinks, and open conversations. Chat about AI architecture or whatever you are currently exploring. Enjoy a drink or stay non-alcoholic; everyone is welcome.
