Some nights help people make their first useful thing with AI. Others hand the mic to experienced builders with something worth showing. This is where every chapter lives—and where the next one begins.
A fast-moving showcase of three-minute AI demos from Knoxville-area builders, followed by networking and breakout demos.
Opening guest: Larisa Brass · Director of Innovation, Knoxville Chamber
Wednesday, October 21, 2026 · 5:00–8:00 PM ET
Venue: Upper atrium at 121 Tech Hub
Knoxville Built This makes room for the whole local AI community: curious first-timers, people turning an idea into a first version, independent makers, students, startup founders, and technical teams already shipping.
Every event has its own format and permanent home. The thread connecting them is simple: practical work, generous people, and proof that more can be built here.
Revisit the room, see what people made, or add your own story to the archive.
Knoxville neighbors turned everyday ideas into useful first versions in one focused evening.
