AI Tinkerers Missoula brings builders back Sept. 23 for roundtable talks and live demos

MISSOULA, Mont. - Missoula's AI builder chapter is back. AI Tinkerers Missoula 
holds Session 2 on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. MDT: 
a free, in-person night for developers, researchers, and technical founders 
who actually ship AI.

This is not a networking mixer. It's builders in one room talking code and 
how to put AI to work for real. The night opens with a roundtable on AI 
harnesses and implementation: evaluation loops, orchestration, testing and 
regression, guardrails, telemetry, and the messy details of getting systems 
running in production. Then lightning demos where someone pops the hood on 
a real build for about five minutes.

Organizers Jurden Bruce of Brucepro and Joshua Rhines, founder of CubCloud 
AI and CubCloud Community, launched the Missoula chapter with an inaugural 
meetup on Aug. 26. Session 2 keeps the same format and the same bar: show 
the work, teach the trade-offs, leave the pitch deck at home.

"Missoula has the builders. Session 1 proved they want code, not a sales 
deck. AI Tinkerers is where they get in a room, show how the thing actually 
works, and Session 2 is live demos. That's the fun part," said Rhines.

Venue details go to confirmed attendees (same location as last time). 
Space is limited.
