AI Builders Unite: The Vibe Coding Unconference
What’s worth more this summer — another weekend in the Hamptons, or one day that shifts your creative edge, your network, and your entire relationship to AI?
On June 28, we’re hosting the first-ever FREE Vibe Coding Conference in NYC @ Betaworks — and it’s nothing like the usual.
No keynote stages.
No panels.
No passive audiences.
Just smart, curious humans — entrepreneurs, technologists, operators, and creative builders — sharing their best tools, workflows, and edge-case experiments.
Everyone’s a teacher. Everyone’s a student. Everyone’s building.
We’re creating a community-powered sandbox to:
Test ideas without pressure
Prototype your weirdest vision
Learn hands-on from people actually working at the edge of AI-powered creation.
If you’re experimenting with AI, building new tools, or figuring out what works in real time — you’ll fit right in.

👥 About the Hosts
Dave Renz and Eric Skaff are the cofounders of Tanooki Labs, an NYC-based dev shop trusted by teams at Makerbot, Reuters, The Information, and startups later acquired by Compass, North American Bancard, and Finch.
They’ve been building together since their AOL Ventures days and have survived recessions, hype cycles, and the pandemic — still shipping, still local, still ahead of the curve.
Now they’re turning that same energy outward — helping the community access real AI tools, not just headlines.
Because we all deserve a seat at the AI table.
