Got something you’re making? AI films, art, tools, weird experiments, half-finished ideas or even non-AI projects; bring it. We’re teaming up with Monica Monique of Chain Reaction in Westchester for a one-night, community-powered WIP (Work-In-Progress) showcase of what people are actually building right now. This night runs on Medici energy, when artists, technologists, and thinkers collide in the same room, breakthroughs happen. The Renaissance wasn’t polished. It was messy, curious, and fueled by conversation. This isn’t a pitch night. This isn’t polished. It’s real work, in progress. You’ll get: Live show-and-tells from creators Honest feedback—not LinkedIn fluff New collaborators you didn’t know you needed A lightning-round open mic at the end of the night Light bites and drinks included with your $11 ticket Want to present? Fill out this form if you want to present! Presenter submissions are due September 21, and selected presenters will be confirmed by September 22, giving everyone more than a week to prepare. Working on something hot but not ready for a full presentation? We’ll close the night with a lightning-round open mic for quick works in progress, experiments and ideas. Sign up at the event; slots will be available as time permits. Wednesday, September 30 · 6:00–9:00 p.m. Chain Reaction · Westchester $11 Come curious. Leave sharper.
