About this event

If you’ve been curious about AI agents but haven’t yet built one yourself, this meetup is a practical place to start. Build and deploy your first agent with Mastra is designed to help you move from interest to hands-on understanding, with a format that emphasizes learning by doing and connecting with other people exploring the same space. This is not a vague conversation about where AI might go next. It’s a focused, in-person session for people who want to understand how an agent comes together, what deployment actually involves, and how to leave with a clearer sense of what to build next. About the Event This event centers on a simple goal: helping attendees understand the process of building and deploying a first agent using Mastra. Whether you’re coming from software, product, design, or general curiosity about AI tooling, the event is structured to make the topic approachable without watering it down. Because it’s an in-person meetup, the experience is also about direct conversation. You’ll be able to ask questions in real time, compare notes with other attendees, and learn from the energy that comes from being in the room with people actively exploring applied AI. Expect a community-forward format rather than a purely passive lecture. The combination of technical context, practical walkthroughs, and room for discussion makes this a strong fit for people who want both substance and human connection. What to Expect You can expect a session built around the core stages of getting started with an agent: understanding the building blocks, seeing how those pieces fit together in Mastra, and following the path from first setup to deployment. The goal is to make the end-to-end process feel less abstract and more achievable. A meetup like this typically works best when attendees can follow the flow from concept to implementation. That means you should expect the event to focus on practical progression, such as: what an agent is and how it differs from a simple prompt or workflow how Mastra fits into the process of building an agent the steps involved in turning an idea into something functional what deployment means in practice for a first project time for discussion, questions, and peer conversation Because the event includes community, networking, and social elements, there will also be value beyond the core content. You’ll likely meet people working on adjacent problems, experimenting with similar tools, or looking for collaborators, feedback, or simply a sharper understanding of the space. If you’re early in your AI journey, that mix matters. Seeing a concrete example is useful; being able to talk through it with others immediately afterward is what often makes the learning stick. Why Attend The biggest reason to attend is clarity. There’s a lot of noise around agents right now, and it can be hard to tell the difference between a compelling demo, a useful framework, and a realistic starting point for your own work. This meetup gives you a chance to ground the topic in a specific tool and a practical workflow. You’ll leave with a better mental model of what “building an agent” actually involves. Instead of treating agents as a buzzword, you’ll be able to break the process into understandable parts: setup, logic, orchestration, and deployment. That kind of structure makes it much easier to decide what to learn next. There’s also strong value in attending early, before you think you’re fully ready. In-person meetups are one of the fastest ways to shorten the path from curiosity to action. You can learn from questions other people ask, hear how others are approaching similar challenges, and get exposure to real implementation thinking without having to piece it all together alone. This event is also a good fit if you want your learning to be social. Technical momentum is easier to sustain when you know other people are building too. A meetup like this can help you find peers, future collaborators, and a local community around applied AI work. Practical Details When: Thursday, March 27 at 9:00 AM PDT Location: In person Since this is an in-person event, plan to arrive a little early so you can settle in, meet a few people, and be ready when the session starts. Morning meetups often move quickly, and arriving on time will help you get the full context from the beginning. This event is especially well suited to attendees who want a focused, real-world introduction rather than a broad theoretical overview. If you’ve been waiting for a reason to stop reading about agents and start understanding how one gets built and deployed, this is a strong entry point. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and a willingness to talk with other attendees. The value here comes not just from the content itself, but from being in the room as ideas become more concrete.

Who should attend

This is for people who want a practical, grounded introduction to building AI agents and would rather learn in a room with others than figure it out in isolation. - You’re **AI-curious but not yet hands-on**, and you want a clearer picture of what an agent is, how it works, and what deployment actually looks like. - You’re a **developer or technical builder** who wants to explore Mastra as a way to move from experimentation into something more structured and real. - You work in **product, design, operations, or strategy** and want to better understand the capabilities and constraints of agent-based tools so you can make smarter decisions. - You’ve seen a lot of conversation around agents and want a **more concrete, less hype-driven entry point** focused on actual implementation. - You value **community and networking** and want to meet other people building, learning, and asking similar questions about applied AI. - You’re looking for a meetup where you can **learn something useful and leave with momentum** for your own next step, whether that’s a prototype, a side project, or a stronger foundation.
