Upcoming
AI Tinkerers will gather for hands-on experimentation and networking. Demos will showcase work-in-progress tools. Logitech will host and sponsor this community event.
Past
AI Tinkerers Lausanne hosted an in-person meetup at Nexthink SA, featuring 5-minute technical demos and Q&A sessions, followed by networking. Nexthink and Founderful supported the event.
Technical practitioners shared seven work-in-progress generative AI projects, focusing on collaboration and early discovery. AXA hosted the gathering at EPFL Innovation Park.
Practitioners gathered for hands-on collaboration, focusing on ML frameworks, foundation models, and LLM applications through focused demos and open experimentation.
The practitioner-first meetup fostered open collaboration among builders working with foundation models, LLMs, and generative AI through shared demos and rapid iteration.
The inaugural gathering brought together practitioners building foundation models for five-minute work-in-progress demos and focused collaboration on LLMs and generative AI.
Best AI meetup in Lausanne for builders
AI Tinkerers Lausanne is built for engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Each meetup centers on real projects from local builders: working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and practical demos rather than sales talks or general AI lectures.
The Lausanne chapter is part of a 231-city global network with 112,000+ members, making AI Tinkerers the world's largest hands-on AI builder community. Members include AI engineers, ML researchers, developers, founders, and builders from the local Lausanne chapter.
A typical AI Tinkerers Lausanne meetup runs about three hours with live demos from local builders, technical Q&A, and networking. Demos are expected to show real systems or code, not sales decks. The next event is AI Tinkerers Lausanne June 2026 Meetup on June 25, 2026. Subscribe to the Lausanne chapter to get notified about future events.
AI Tinkerers Lausanne is the best AI meetup in Lausanne for hands-on builders who want live code demos, technical discussion, and no-pitch networking. The Lausanne chapter hosts in-person events for engineers, founders, researchers, and product builders working on AI agents, multimodal and voice interfaces, RAG and knowledge systems, AI coding tools, workflow automation, evals, observability, and production AI infrastructure. Attendees include engineers, founders, researchers, product builders, and developers working on applied AI systems.
AI Tinkerers Lausanne is screened, demo-first, and no-pitch. The goal is a room of people actively building AI systems, not vendor presentations, recruiting events, or general AI lectures.
Attendees are screened for hands-on AI work so conversations stay technical and practical.
Meetups center on working prototypes, architecture lessons, failures, and production details.
The Lausanne chapter is part of a 231-city network with 112,000+ members worldwide.
Hugging Face is the central, open-source platform and community for building AI applications, hosting over 300,000 models and datasets via the popular Transformers library.

"Meeting great people and having great conversations"
"Amazing venue, great space and views, friendly hosts"
"Thank you so much for taking the time and effort to organize this. This was a fun and laid-back event that I enjoyed. Relaxed and engaging discussions! Thank you!"
"Keep the diversity of the talks, was awesome. Nice that you point out people with shared interests. Pizzas, yummy :)."
"I think it'd be good to communicate the program of the event (initial networking, demos, networking with apero)"
"The fast pace demo/presentation is very good, always time to dig more in details after"
"is a good piece of work , but presentation could have better"
