What you get

Six reasons people keep showing up.

Not a Slack channel nobody opens. A network with a calendar, a school and a pipeline attached to it.

01

The room, not the recording

Monthly technical meetups, Data Over Coffee and GenAI Nights — in person, capped, and built for one specific conversation. Fourteen delivered so far, never a gap.

02

People who actually hire

Chief Data Officers, VPs, founders and heads of engineering are in the room as members, not as keynote speakers who leave at the interval. Roles get filled here.

03

1:1 consultancy and connection

Stuck on an architecture call, a career move or a hiring decision? Members get direct 1:1 time with practitioners who have already made that call.

04

Hackathons and incubation

AI hackathons, incubation events and the AI Filmmaking Incubation. Build something in public, with mentorship, and leave with work you can show.

05

Skilllz, our AI School

AI Fluency, foundations, industry tracks, Agentic AI and Generative AI — plus AI for Students and AI for Educators for the campuses in our network.

06

First look at everything

Festival tickets, challenge briefs, partner openings and the weekly note land with members before they land anywhere else.

How it works

Four steps, no gatekeeping theatre.

Step 01 · two minutes

You apply

Which room, who you are, what you do, and what you want out of it. Be specific — it's how we place you.

Step 02 · same week

A person reads it

Not a filter. We reply within two working days with the room we think fits and the next date on the calendar.

Step 03 · next event

You show up

Meetups, GenAI Nights, hackathons, the festival. Across 27 governorates, in person wherever we can.

Step 04 · ongoing

You contribute

Speak, mentor, host, or bring a challenge. The members who get the most out of this are the ones who put something in.

AI For Everyone, Everywhere!

Not a slogan. A test we hold every programme to — if it only reaches Cairo, or only reaches people who already had a head start, we haven't done the work.
