SUMMARY:AI Tinkerers Missoula brings builders back Sept. 23 for roundtable talks and live demos
DESCRIPTION:MISSOULA\, Mont. - Missoula's AI builder chapter is back. AI Tinkerers Missoula \nholds Session 2 on Wednesday\, September 23\, 2026\, from 4:00 to 6:00 p.m. MDT: \na free\, in-person night for developers\, researchers\, and technical founders \nwho actually ship AI.\n\nThis is not a networking mixer. It's builders in one room talking code and \nhow to put AI to work for real. The night opens with a roundtable on AI \nharnesses and implementation: evaluation loops\, orchestration\, testing and \nregression\, guardrails\, telemetry\, and the messy details of getting systems \nrunning in production. Then lightning demos where someone pops the hood on \na real build for about five minutes.\n\nOrganizers Jurden Bruce of Brucepro and Joshua Rhines\, founder of CubCloud \nAI and CubCloud Community\, launched the Missoula chapter with an inaugural \nmeetup on Aug. 26. Session 2 keeps the same format and the same bar: show \nthe work\, teach the trade-offs\, leave the pitch deck at home.\n\n"Missoula has the builders. Session 1 proved they want code\, not a sales \ndeck. AI Tinkerers is where they get in a room\, show how the thing actually \nworks\, and Session 2 is live demos. That's the fun part\," said Rhines.\n\nVenue details go to confirmed attendees (same location as last time). \nSpace is limited. \nApply at https://missoula.aitinkerers.org/p/ai-tinkerers-missoula-roundtable-demos-ai-harnesses-sep-23-2026\n\nDemo proposals are open. Short\, code-first demos preferred. \nAgenda: check-in at 4:00\, roundtable at 4:10\, lightning demos at 5:10.\n\nCubCloud AI builds AI systems and tools on hardware it owns and operates in Montana. \nThe company is based at 400 West Broadway St.\, Suite 102 in downtown Missoula.\n\n\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nContact: Joshua Rhines\, CubCloud AI - Joshua@CubCloud.AI - 406-241-5395\nMissoula\, Montana - September 8\, 2026

SUMMARY:“The Future of AI” Conference - 10/1-2 - Montana State University
