Transparency Update on AIE London Conference Logistics
Transparency Update on AIE London Conference Logistics
 ### swyx@swyx
Clawfather and friends are coming to @aidotengineer in London in 2 weeks :)
some transparency from me - running the first international AIE has been extremely hard on our team - even though booths and tickets are ALL sold out, we're still not profitable*. We'll be ok, all first years are investment years, but support from GDM, OAI, Braintrust and WorkOS has been so invaluable in keeping us afloat.
We still have our Afterparty, Leadership Luncheon, and Expo Cafe available for sponsors who'd like to support and attend on short notice. Would deeply appreciate all referrals!
*events have superlinear cost and logistical complexity curves, i hate it Show More

OAI has shipped SO much for AI Engineers this year alone, and this is the best place to catch up:
