December is going to look a little different. Instead of a speaker, we’re closing out the year with an Agent Fair. Think science fair, but for agents.
We’ll set up tables around the room, builders bring the agent they’ve been working on, and everyone else walks around, sees demos, talks shop, and votes on their favorites.
Want to show something?The only rule is that you built it this year. It doesn’t have to be polished. It doesn’t have to be useful. Side projects, work tools, weekend hacks, totally ridiculous ideas: all welcome. Bring it solo or as a team of up to four.
You’ll get a spot at a table, so bring your laptop or phone fully charged. Outlets are limited. It’s also worth having screenshots or a short recording as a backup in case the Wi-Fi gets crowded.
Grab a table by registering by December 8th: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeCnY5OuNozstxDL5Bb7zMZIPO1ufNM0TARLlAJfIrWeFfY1A/viewform
Space is limited, so don’t wait too long.
Just want to come hang out?Please do. You don’t need to bring anything but curiosity. Wander around, try some agents, ask the builders how they made them, and help pick the winners.
How the voting worksEvery booth will have a QR code. Scan it, score the agent on usefulness, creativity, technical wow, and fun, and move on to the next one. We’ll tally everything up and hand out prizes in each category at the end of the night.

It’s a fun, social way to close out the year. Come see what everyone’s been building.
Location
This event is hosted in the Teamworking by TechNexus space. Upon arrival, guests can usually come directly to the 12th floor. If we have a large turnout and you arrive after 6pm, you may need to check-in with the security desk before heading up. The reception team will be there to greet you and help guide you to your room.Parking & TransportationThe Civic Opera Building does not have a dedicated parking lot. There is limited metered parking nearby. We recommend using iParkit or SpotHero to find discounted parking options. The CME Building (10 S. Wacker) is the nearest parking garage, with several additional garages located within a two-block radius.
The venue location is highly walkable and conveniently situated near multiple CTA train lines and bus stops, making it easy to access via public transportation.
