AI Meetup (Chicago): GenAI, LLMs and Agents
About this event
AICamp's Chicago chapter gathers in the Loop for technical talks on generative AI, large language models and agent engineering, followed by open discussion and networking with local practitioners.
AICamp's Chicago meetup returns to 200 East Randolph for an evening of deep-dive technical talks aimed at developers building with generative AI.
Two sessions are on the published agenda:
- Build with Gemini: AI Studio and Antigravity, presented by Joel Vasallo of The Aspen Group, walking through Google's developer tooling for building on Gemini models.
- Shipping a production multi-tenant SaaS solo, presented by Max Markovtsev of Violema, on the engineering realities of taking an AI-backed product to production as a single developer.
The evening opens at 5:30 pm with check-in, food and networking, moves into community updates at 6:00 pm, then runs tech talks with Q&A from 6:15 pm. From roughly 7:30 pm the room shifts to open discussion and a mixer. Additional speakers may be added closer to the date, so check the registration page for the final lineup.
Attendance is free and RSVPs are handled through AICamp.
