Below is everything you need to know before stepping on the LXAI stage. Travel light, demo hard, have fun.
1️⃣ Speakers: builders that work on frontier of AI & have something novel to present.
2️⃣ Attendees: builders that want to learn and meet like minded people.
3️⃣ Sponsors: organisations that support the event. they want more tickets, brand awareness, hire people, or promote their products/services.
Demo‑First Format
10 min live demo / code walk‑through. Zero PowerPoints; the code is the slide.
Ethics & Impact
Same 10 min cap, followed by a moderated fireside chat.
Bring your own laptop + any quirky hardware. We supply rock‑solid Wi‑Fi, HDMI, audio, and caffeinated debugging.
No remote talks—LXAI is about sharing the same Wi‑Fi in the same room.
What we cover
Flights
We reimburse economy (or similarly sensible) fares, NET 30 after we get your receipt. If your company can cover the ticket, we’ll happily list them as a Community Sponsor and offer two complimentary tickets.
Accomodation
Up to 3 nights in a 4‑star hotel near the venue (check‑in 3 Nov, check‑out 6 Nov). Extra nights or rooms are on you—though we’ve secured friendly rates.
Visa letters
Need an invitation? We’ll draft one.
(Approval rests with the consulate.)
Everything else
Meals, upgrades, extra luggage, and souvenirs remain your adventure.
LXAI is a community, not a corporation. Volunteers take on 100 % of the financial risk and draw 0 salary. Any surplus goes straight back to speakers, scholarships, and that legendary Portuguese coffee. Your mindful budgeting keeps the loop virtuous.
MEDIA & REACH
Sessions are recorded & live‑streamed free under CC BY‑SA.
Goal: 100 000 remote viewers. Your demo could melt a lot of browsers.
Please send:
A high‑res headshot (or we’ll let GPT‑Vision sketch one).
A short bio—otherwise we’ll synthesize a tasteful version.
Álvaro will contact you to record a 15‑min podcast teaser for socials.
