44 people came.
This was the best meetup yet. Huge thanks to Netlink Voice for hosting and for the food and drinks - y'all set the bar. Thank you to Roger White and J.C. Hiatt for speaking on how AI is reshaping their industry. Real talk from people actually building with it, not theory. And the room itself: the majority of people who checked in were at Tech After Dark for the very first time. That's the whole point of this thing. If you were one of them - welcome, you're one of us now. Next one is Thursday, September 24. Block your calendar, and bring someone who's never come. -Brett Haralson
