About AI Socratic — A Global Community for AI Engineers, Researchers, and Founders

1. 1

   6:00 PM

   Dinner

   Doors open and dinner starts. We eat, drink, and meet new people in a laid-back setting — good food, easy conversation, and music to set the vibes.

   
2. 2

   6:30 PM

   Intro and selfie

   We go around the room with a quick round of introductions — who you are and what you're working on — then squeeze everyone into one frame. Every chapter takes a selfie to capture the room and shares it with the others.

   
3. 3

   7:00 PM

   Socratic Dialogues

   The heart of the night: a moderated conversation on the latest in AI — new models, research papers, philosophy, geopolitics — structured around the last month blog post in a slide format. Everyone is encouraged to contribute, and experts on the topic share what they know.

   
4. 4

   8:30 PM

   Presentations & demos

   Bring a problem, an architecture challenge, or something you've built and learned from. Short show-and-tell sessions meant to level up everyone in the room.

   We close out at a bar nearby, where the group conversation splinters into many smaller ones.
