Our programs
Five formats. One community.
Every AIWL program runs on a fixed format with a defined run of show and a clear success bar. Pick the one that fits where you are \u2014 building skills, meeting decision-makers, or shipping something real.
AIWL Build Lab
“You leave having built, broken, or configured something real. Not notes. Output.”
Hands-on working sessions for practitioners, career changers, and students who want to leave with something they made.
2 to 3 per active quarter · 2.5 hours in person or 90 minutes virtual
AIWL Signal
“An hour with people who are actually making the decisions, saying what they would not say from a conference stage.”
Candid conversations with senior leaders — for directors and above, and anyone who wants to hear how decisions really get made.
1 per active quarter · 2 hours with real networking
AIWL Builder SprintFlagship
“You arrive with an idea and you leave with a working product, pitched live to investors and industry leaders at Demo Day.”
An 8-week selective cohort with named mentors, ending in a public Demo Day with external judges. Applications open each spring for the summer cohort.
Every summer, with a spring cohort planned
AIWL Circles
“The same small group, every month, who know your work and hold you to what you said you would do.”
Members-only accountability groups of 6 to 10. Unbranded and confidential by design.
Monthly, year round · 75 minutes
AIWL Assembly
“Once a year, the whole community in one room, with the year's work made visible.”
Our annual gathering — an intimate senior retreat, with the full gala returning in 2027.
