Events Work. Especially Now. In a world of async everything, in-person time is more valuable than ever. We’re seeing a resurgence in technical events but not the vendor-heavy expos of the 2010s. 🧵 👇

Today’s best events are tighter, founder- or user-led gatherings where real knowledge gets traded. No fluff. No salesy keynotes. What’s working: • 20-person dev dinners • Hack nights with hands-on builds • User-led meetups with zero stage, lots of signal

GenAI Collective’s SF demo nights pull 200–300 people monthly. Agent Hack Night felt like 2012 again. These work because they feel authentic and devs can smell the difference.
