About this event
If you care about where generative AI is heading and want to talk about it with people who are actively building, exploring, and questioning it, GenAI Cracow #11 is the room to be in. This is an in-person community gathering in Kraków designed for real conversations, practical insight, and the kind of networking that happens best when people share a genuine interest in the same fast-moving space. About the Event GenAI Cracow #11 brings together the local and regional AI community for an evening focused on generative AI, community exchange, and professional connection. Rather than treating AI as a distant trend, this meetup creates a place to discuss what is happening now: what people are experimenting with, what they are building, and what questions are surfacing as the field keeps evolving. Because this is a community-centered event, the value comes from the mix of people in the room as much as the formal program. You can expect an atmosphere that is curious, informed, and open to a range of perspectives, from highly technical to product, business, and creative use cases. Events like this work especially well in person. They give you the chance to move beyond headlines and online hot takes, and instead have grounded conversations with people who are close to the work. If you want to meet others in Kraków who are paying attention to generative AI in a serious way, this is a strong place to start. What to Expect Expect an evening format built around learning, discussion, and networking. While the exact flow may vary, community events like GenAI Cracow typically create space for both shared content and informal conversation, so attendees can leave with new ideas as well as new contacts. You should be ready for a mix of activities such as: Community conversations around current developments in generative AI Short talks, updates, or discussion prompts that give the room something concrete to react to Networking time to meet other attendees working across AI, product, engineering, research, startups, and adjacent fields Peer-to-peer exchange where people share lessons, tools, experiments, and open questions One of the biggest strengths of a focused meetup is that the discussion can stay specific without becoming closed off. You may hear practical perspectives on implementation, experimentation, or adoption, while also getting a feel for where the broader community sees momentum, uncertainty, or opportunity. Because this is the eleventh edition, there is also a sense of continuity behind the event. That matters. Recurring community gatherings tend to attract people who are committed enough to keep showing up, which often leads to better conversations, more trust, and stronger connections over time. Why Attend If you work in or around AI, staying current is no longer just about reading online. It is about understanding how other people are thinking, what they are trying, and where they are getting stuck. This event gives you a direct line into those conversations. You might attend to sharpen your thinking, pressure-test an idea, meet collaborators, or simply get a clearer view of what generative AI looks like beyond the hype cycle. In a field moving this quickly, being part of a strong local community can be a real advantage. Here is what makes the evening valuable: Relevant signal from people who care enough to show up and discuss the topic in depth Useful context for anyone building with AI, evaluating tools, or tracking the market New professional connections in Kraków's growing AI and tech ecosystem A more grounded perspective on where generative AI is actually creating value and where it still raises questions Even if you already follow AI closely, there is a difference between consuming information and discussing it with others who bring different backgrounds and priorities. Those conversations often surface the most useful insights: what is practical, what is overhyped, and what is worth exploring next. Practical Details GenAI Cracow #11 takes place in person in Kraków, Poland on Monday, January 27 at 6:00 PM GMT+1. The in-person format is a key part of the experience, especially for networking and spontaneous discussion, so plan to attend ready to engage with people directly. A weekday evening schedule makes this a good fit for professionals, founders, researchers, students, and enthusiasts who want to connect after the workday. If you are local to Kraków or nearby, this is an easy opportunity to plug into a community that shares a serious interest in generative AI. A few useful expectations to keep in mind: Arrive ready to introduce yourself and talk about your interests or current work Bring your questions about generative AI, whether technical, strategic, or practical Expect conversation, not just passive listening Plan for networking before, during, or after the main program If you have been meaning to meet more people in the AI community, hear how others are approaching generative AI, or spend an evening in smarter conversation than your average industry event offers, GenAI Cracow #11 is a strong reason to be in the room.
Who should attend
This event is for you if you want thoughtful, in-person conversations about generative AI with people who are paying close attention and actively engaging with the space. - **You work hands-on with AI or machine learning** and want to compare notes with others building, testing, or deploying generative AI tools and workflows. - **You are a founder, product manager, or operator** trying to understand where GenAI is genuinely useful, how teams are applying it, and what signals matter right now. - **You are a developer, engineer, or technical explorer** who wants to hear how peers are thinking about implementation, experimentation, and the broader direction of the field. - **You are part of Kraków's tech or startup community** and want to meet people nearby who share a real interest in AI, not just a casual curiosity. - **You are a student, researcher, or early-career professional** looking to learn faster by being around practitioners, asking better questions, and growing your network. - **You are AI-curious but serious**: you do not need to know everything already, but you should want a more grounded conversation than the usual surface-level buzz.
