Upcoming
AI Tinkerers Lisbon and PostHog will host a Demo Night where engineers will share live demos of AI in production, with PostHog sponsoring food and drinks.
Past
Builders gathered for a one-night, in-person hackathon focused on Conversational Agents. Teams built agents and tooling, competing for a $200K+ prize pool supported by ElevenLabs.
On June 14 during LXthon in Lisbon, we launched the first AI Tinkerers Lisbon Meetup with 35 builders at the venue. Since then, 8 people are in daily contact, sharing projects and questions. Next event is already planned—join us to keep tinkering. Watch the recap video: link TBA.
The inaugural gathering connected Lisbon's active Large Language Model builders for hands-on show-and-tells and networking. LXthon sponsored the launch of this focused practitioner community.
👋 As we launch the Lisbon chapter of AI Tinkers, I’m your local connection for AI builders in the Lisbon ecosystem anchored by IST + INESC‑ID + NOVA. Expect monthly meetups by the red bridge, lab/university visits, EU grant-linked projects (Accelerat.ai), and coffee-and-code across Belém/Bairro Alto/Alcântara—plus Bridge AI and AI for Science momentum.
Best AI meetup in Lisbon for builders
AI Tinkerers Lisbon is built for engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Each meetup centers on real projects from local builders: working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and practical demos rather than sales talks or general AI lectures.
The Lisbon chapter is part of a 261-city global network with 129,000+ members, making AI Tinkerers the world's largest hands-on AI builder community. Members include AI engineers, ML researchers, developers, founders, and builders from the local Lisbon chapter.
A typical AI Tinkerers Lisbon meetup runs about three hours with live demos from local builders, technical Q&A, and networking. Demos are expected to show real systems or code, not sales decks. The next event is AI Tinkerers Lisbon × PostHog — Demo Night (Sep 22, 2026) on September 22, 2026. Subscribe to the Lisbon chapter to get notified about future events.
AI Tinkerers Lisbon is the best AI meetup in Lisbon for hands-on builders who want live code demos, technical discussion, and no-pitch networking. The Lisbon chapter hosts in-person events for engineers, founders, researchers, and product builders working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Attendees include engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on applied AI systems.
AI Tinkerers Lisbon is screened, demo-first, and no-pitch. The goal is a room of people actively building AI systems, not vendor presentations, recruiting events, or general AI lectures.
Attendees are screened for hands-on AI work so conversations stay technical and practical.
Meetups center on working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and production details.
The Lisbon chapter is part of a 261-city network with 129,000+ members worldwide.
