The night before Advancing AI - kicking things off with the builders who make GPUs earn their keep.
Join a select group of founders, engineers, operators, & investors who are Advancing AI. Meet the people you'll be sitting next to all week, a night early, in a more relaxed & intimate setting.

It's the kickoff: an evening on value maxxing, getting the most out of every dollar of inference & every hour of infra. Expect a few lightning talks with live demos from teams shipping real AI-native workloads, then drinks, bites, & the good kind of hallway conversation.

Tonight, we gather the builders. Tomorrow, we continue Advancing AI.
