A little of what’s cooking

A big year deserves a good party.

Think creative open house: drop-in conversations, surprising demos and plenty of room to play. Whether you’ve been experimenting all year or you’re just getting curious, there’s a place for you here.

01 / LOOK BACK

The year that broke our brains

The breakthroughs, the weirdness and the “wait, that was this year?” moments—plus a little AI Confessional.

02 / MAKE SOMETHING

Less watching. More playing.

Community demos, a five-prompt building challenge and creative experiments worth sharing.

03 / LOOK AHEAD

The human side of what’s next

Work, creativity, everyday life and what we’re taking into 2027. Bring your questions along.

A taste of the working program. Sessions and timing are still taking shape.

Sponsorship opportunities

Help make the
good kind of chaos.

Connect your organization with an AI-curious community of creators, professionals and everyday experimenters.
