2027 calendar

Beta in Progress every second Thursday, and the big dates across the year.

Beta in Progress

Our core gathering, on the second Thursday of every month. It’s a working session, not a panel. You don’t need a pitch or traction to come.

  • Builder roundtableTwo minutes each, built around the 2027 thesis:
    • Who used what you built since last time?
    • What did the data tell you?
    • Who helped you, and who did you help?
  • Topic discussionA short video to watch beforehand, so everyone arrives ready to go deeper.
  • Tribe CodeBring a laptop, stay, and build together.

Free to attend. Times, venue and RSVP are on each event page.
