Founder brief

Who should attend

Founders and technical operators building or integrating generative AI tools, especially those focused on video, creative workflows, and world models, will gain direct insight into practical implementations. The content centers on how creators build, iterate, and share their pipelines.

What happens

Attendees gather for drinks at 6:00 before builders present their live workflows on screen at 6:45. A panel on generative media follows at 7:20, discussing storytelling, video, and creative tools. The evening transitions at 8:05 into an interactive session to scan and run workflows, concluding at 8:45.

Who's in the room

Speakers include Amanda Benaim, Ben Weinmann from Magnific, Cindy Xu from Sonilo, Gary Hsu from Tencent Cloud North America, AI creator Jason Hood, Jerry Wang of Metix AI, and Minh Do from Machine Cinema. Guests are admitted individually via RSVP approval.

How to prepare

Bring a mobile device capable of scanning workflows during the interactive segment. Because the session focuses on practical execution rather than pitch decks, review your own internal production pipelines in advance so you can discuss generative tooling trade-offs effectively with peers.
