Welcome to your community hub

Portland AI Engineers (call us Ping for short), is a community of software developers exploring generative AI through hands-on experimentation. We prioritize in-person gatherings to build meaningful connections while learning together about the latest AI technologies and approaches.

Join us to:

  • Build practical applications using frontier APIs, agentic systems, on-device solutions, and multimodal models

  • Share your projects in flexible formats from 10-minute lightning talks to hour-long deep dives

  • Connect with developers of all experience levels, from hobbyists to enterprise professionals
