Review or cancel your RSVP

Event history shows your event history and upcoming registrations. You can cancel from the same screen.

Some events are members-only or have capacity limits. If an event is full, waitlisted users are promoted automatically when seats open.

Present at an event

RSVP as a presenter

Choose the presenter role in the RSVP form and enter your presentation title and abstract.

Upload slides or links

After RSVPing, use the presentation materials section to add PDF slides or external links such as YouTube. Multiple materials are supported.

Update materials later

You can replace or add materials from the same section. Published materials are visible on the event page.

Share a project

Share AI projects, services, and tools you built with the community in Projects. Finished work, prototypes, and work in progress are all welcome.

Create a submission

Project submission form opens the submission form. Title, description, and app URL are required; images, tags, repository URL, and demo video URL are optional.

Wait for admin review

Submissions are saved as pending. Once approved, they appear on the Projects page.

Edit your project

My projects lets you edit your own projects. Edits move approved projects back to pending for another review.

Write articles

Publish articles for the community, such as AI experiences, tutorials, or short essays.

Create an article

New article opens the editor. Markdown tables, code blocks, and task lists are supported, along with cover images and tags.

Save a draft or request review

Save work as a draft, or submit it as pending so an admin can review it.

Publish

Approved articles appear in Articles. Published articles can be edited and resubmitted without changing the original publish date.

Read and write notes

Notes & Know-how collects AI tool setup notes, prompts people tried, and practical patterns worth finding later. Short notes are welcome too.

Anyone can submit from new notes and know-how.
First-time notes are published after admin review. Once approved, contributor access is granted automatically so future notes can be published directly.
Check your drafts, published notes, and rejected submissions from My Notes & Know-how.
Articles vs. notes: Use articles for longer stories and reflections; use notes and know-how for reusable steps, setup notes, and reference material.
