⚡ Docker @ RAISE Summit in Paris

On July 7th, 2026, AI Tinkerers Paris is gathering to kick off AIT @ RAISE series with a high-density evening of technical demonstrations and deep-dive networking. We are bringing together active builders to explore real-world implementations, system architectures, and the infrastructure powering the next wave of active AI applications.

This special kickoff edition is joined by Docker, Ippon Technologies, ClickHouse and **Tavily. We are focusing on the practical engineering patterns that make AI systems reliable, scalable, and fast—moving past the high-level abstractions to look at containerized runtimes, local sandbox execution, and high-performance vector and analytical data pipelines.

🎙️ Featured Technical Sessions & Demos

We are curating a lineup of technical demonstrations focusing on concrete implementations. Expect terminal sessions, architecture diagrams, and live code walkthroughs instead of high-level product pitches.

⚡ Submit Your Demo Proposal

We are looking for 5-minute technical show-and-tells from the community. Do you have a messy experiment, a creative hack, or an architectural discovery to share?

The bar is simple: Show, Don’t Tell. Your demo should focus on how you built your system, the technical trade-offs you made, and what other builders can reuse or avoid. We want to see your actual code, prompt engineering pipelines, or database configurations.

🕕 Schedule

• 6:00 PM: Doors Open & Initial Networking
• 7:00 PM: Technical Demos & Q&A
• 8:00 PM: Science Fair & Deep-Dive Networking
• 9:00 PM: Event Wrap-up

🥽 Who Should Attend

AI Tinkerers is a community exclusively for active builders—engineers, researchers, and technical founders who are actively writing code and shipping generative AI systems.

Because our events are highly popular and space is strictly limited to 150 attendees, all applications are screened. We prioritize applicants who provide links to their active technical work (GitHub, LinkedIn, or technical portfolios) to maintain a high-signal environment for deep peer-to-peer exchange.
