One hard question at the centre of the table. Mixed tables, and every table reads its answer out loud. You do not need to be technical — you need an opinion.
Demos of real work, lightning talks from people who shipped something this month, and the hour afterwards that is usually the actual reason to come.
Laptops open. Bring something real you are stuck on and leave with a better version of it. Check the listing for preparation and experience level.
Nonprofits and government teams bring a problem they actually have. Volunteer builders spend the day on it and hand back something that runs.
Impact Labs run on tracks — a real problem somebody in the room brought, narrowed until one day is enough to move it. Explore two projects from the August 8, 2026 Los Angeles Impact Lab: creative work under pressure and the decisions above your job.
Built something with Claude? Show the room. First-time speakers are welcome and we will help you shape it.
Open your space to local builders, or cover food for a night. Help make a welcoming, free event happen in your community.
