Summer Nights Waterloo (Devin Meetup)

A summer rooftop evening of building, networking, good food, drinks, and good music, supported by Cognition, the team behind Devin (an autonomous AI software engineer) and Windsurf. This is a relaxed Devin meetup on a rooftop, spacious meeting space in Kitchener-Waterloo area. With a rooftop patio, boardroom, and spacious networking areas, you are free to drop in and set your own pace, in a relaxed atmosphere. Want to build? The boardroom is a hands-on space from the moment you arrive, with Devin ready to go. Want to hang, network and enjoy the view? The patio will be open weather permitting. We'll do one short intro to Cognition and Devin early on, open for questions and live demos, and otherwise the night is yours. Every attendee starts with US$20 in Devin credits to spin up a session whenever you like. Want to go further? Build something real with Devin during the event, demo it to the room, and if you earn the nod, you walk out with up to US$500 in credits, which can be used towards frontier models in Devin. Who it's for: 150 builders, founders, senior engineers, investors, and top co-op students from the Waterloo ecosystem. If you're building, looking to take a break from building, or just looking to network this is your room.
