AI Events in Seattle

Seattle's Global AI Community is launching with four talks featuring Microsoft engineers, an MVP, and an Anthropic Ambassador diving into GitHub foundry integration, responsible AI practices, green computing standards, and building AI-native orgs. Free pizza and drinks will fuel the conversation at the inaugural GitHub office gathering.

Tech product founders will explore imposter syndrome’s impact on leadership with insights from executive coach Brett Greene, PCC, in a confidential peer circle focused on resilience, authentic connection, and practical strategies to manage self-doubt while leading effectively.

Two talks exploring the cutting edge of AI agents: Jeremy Adams from Neo4j will dive into graph databases and AI, while Avery Townsend and Aaron Villalpando (founders of BAML at Boundary) will break down how agents can dynamically create their own tools on the fly—including the risks and safeguards needed to keep things running smoothly.

The upcoming New Tech Seattle meetup will bring together a vibrant mix of developers, founders, executives, and innovators for a night of rapid-fire presentations, insightful Q&A, and relaxed networking with tasty bites and drinks. Attendees will gain fresh perspectives on AI, cybersecurity, blockchain, and more, connecting within a community fueled by career-driven professionals and industry leaders.

Dive into the future of AI agents and systems with researchers and engineers from NVIDIA, Snowflake, Stanford, and UW, featuring talks on everything from agent sandboxes to the evolution of software engineering as a profession.

Microsoft leaders and AI experts will gather to dive deep into Copilot, agent-building, and AI-powered work solutions, with hands-on learning and real-world examples for developers and IT professionals of all levels. You'll walk away with practical skills and connections to level up your AI game.

Julie Averill, former Lululemon CIO and New York Times contributor on AI, will break down what actually matters when pitching executives, how to think about scaling and culture, and navigating the AI landscape from someone who's evaluated countless startup pitches from the C-suite. Founders will get insider perspective on what makes startups stand out and what leaders actually need to understand about AI adoption beyond the hype.

Engineers will dive into hands-on search optimization, learning how to tackle real product discovery challenges from hybrid search to business-signal ranking while exploring how AI is reshaping who builds software—all while competing on the same benchmark to prove what actually moves the needle. Speakers from BAML and Qdrant will break down the gap between semantic search theory and commercial reality, showing engineers the exact knobs to turn when search fails.

Microsoft Copilot enthusiasts and AI builders will get hands-on with cutting-edge AI tools alongside Microsoft leaders and industry experts, diving into Copilot Studio and agent development while connecting with developers, IT professionals, and makers in the community.

Seattle founders will gather at AI House to work, network, and pitch their startups, with short demos at noon and potential selection opportunities for an upcoming Demo Day. Attendees will get dedicated workspace, free lunch, and direct exposure to fellow builders in the tech community.

People will dive into practical AI/ML skills every two weeks, covering everything from foundational concepts to advanced techniques with a rotating lineup of topics.

Developers will explore AWS Strands and emerging cloud technologies through hands-on discussions led by AWS engineers at this month's meetup. Attendees will gain practical insights into cutting-edge infrastructure solutions and connect with fellow cloud practitioners.

People will gather to showcase AI-powered projects they've built using plain English descriptions, with entrepreneurs, designers, students, and curious newcomers collaborating and networking at this casual monthly meetup for anyone interested in building software without traditional coding.

WHA members will explore how AI, transparency, and collaboration are reshaping health systems to deliver greater value across the board.

AI builders who are women and non-binary technologists will gather to showcase live code demos, debate dev stacks, and share real production lessons on everything from agent setups to prompt engineering patterns. Expect rapid-fire 5-minute demos with Q&A, networking with fellow practitioners doing hands-on AI work, and candid conversations about what actually works in practice.

AI engineering leaders and data architects will explore how traditional data infrastructure needs to evolve as AI agents transform from experiments into production consumers of enterprise data. Industry veterans will break down the architectural shifts required to support autonomous systems operating at scale.

Seattle's builders will showcase the personal apps they've crafted for themselves—from custom MCPs to generative UIs powered by AI agents—in a celebration of solo software engineering where practicality beats pitch.

Engineers and ML/AI practitioners will dive into real-world agentic architectures, observability patterns, and deployment strategies—covering everything from meta-harness design to production reliability and multi-agent system management. Network with startup founders and established company builders tackling similar challenges in getting AI agents into production.

Innovators working on robots, AI, and advanced manufacturing will convene for a day of panels and conversations exploring how these technologies are transforming industries—featuring discussions on robotics breakthroughs and factory automation alongside networking with the ambitious builders shaping what's next.

PyData Seattle will bring together data scientists and climate tech professionals to explore cutting-edge applications of AI across satellite imagery, geospatial modeling, weather forecasting, and autonomous agents tackling environmental challenges.
