Lisbon AI is two days of code, talks, and hallway hacking with the people actually building it. No hype decks, no rubber-chicken dinners. Top labs, founding teams, and engineers deploying models in production, all in one room.
It started in 2025 as a not-so-quiet group chat of hackers reminiscing about LXJS and wondering why there wasn't a European, builder-first AI gathering. We fixed that then, and we're back for more in 2026.
Bring your laptop!
