Lil Summit · Inaugural edition January 2027

A summit for people who actually build.

Lil Summit is the LilBuz community gathering - a week of workshops, showcases, and honest conversation about shipping real products with AI. The first edition starts January 2027. We're going small, sharp, and builder-first.

What Lil Summit is

A focused, community-run event for builders using LilBuz - and for anyone serious about shipping with AI. Not a trade show. No vendor booths. No 90-slide keynotes. We bring together a few hundred makers, hand-pick the talks and workshops, and spend the week making and showing real things.

Whether you're a solo indie hacker, a freelancer with a stable of client projects, or a small team scaling a product, Lil Summit is built for the part of the day where you're actually doing the work.

01

Workshops

Small-room, hands-on sessions. Bring your laptop and a real project - leave with it noticeably further along. Prompt design, multi-agent flows, shipping AI features without melting your bill.

02

Builder showcases

Short, demo-first talks (10 min max, no slides allowed) from people who shipped something interesting in the last 12 months. Every showcase ends with the audience getting to poke at the live product.

03

Honest conversations

Fireside-style sessions on what worked, what blew up, what we got wrong. Founders, freelancers, and infra engineers in the same room. Chatham House Rule by default so people can speak plainly.
