Past the Pilot: Caffeine, curiosity & AI
No speakers, no slides, no pitches. Just a group of like-minded people and one hour of good conversations before work.
What are you building?
What would you like to build?
What surprised you, or what failed?
Bring a project, a question or simply your curiosity. Listening along is just as welcome.
Past the Pilot is an AI community in Aarhus for people who build something of their own with AI, and for people bringing AI into the work they already do. I’ll say a few words at the start about what’s coming next, including plans for our upcoming events.
Language will be English-first, and people from all personal and professional backgrounds are welcome. Been to one before? Welcome back.
Good to know
- Look for Dennis at the table. Everyone buys their own coffee.
- We keep it small, so everyone gets to talk and we don’t take over the whole café. Full? Join the waitlist.
- Plans changed? Please cancel your spot, so someone else can join.
