Shift.Forward(): Seattle

Join us for the inaugural Shift.Forward() meetup—a new community for people who want to move beyond talking about AI and start building what's next. Our kickoff event explores the future of agentic collaboration and multi-agent AI systems—how teams of AI agents will collaborate with humans and organizations to solve increasingly complex problems. Whether you're building intelligent agents, researching AI, designing AI-powered products, or simply curious about where this technology is headed, this meetup offers thought-provoking talks, practical insights, and meaningful conversations with others shaping the future of intelligent systems. Our vision is a community that goes beyond networking—where members exchange ideas and collaborate on open-source projects, prototypes, research, startups, and real-world innovations. Over two hours, we'll open with a networking reception (food and drinks provided) to give everyone time to connect, then move into a short overview of what this community is setting out to build, followed up with featured presentations from Milkana (SageOX) and Gagan Bansal (Microsoft Research) and roundtable discussion. Seats are intentionally limited to encourage engaging conversations. Register today and be part of the community from day one.
