LA Agentic AI Meetup hosted by Pinecone

Pinecone’s recurring LA Agentic AI Meetup pulls builders, engineers, founders, and the AI-curious into one low-key Playa Vista room - Silicon Beach’s residential-tech pocket, not a downtown pitch hall. Prior editions drew about 70 in May and 80 in July; the August night is aiming past 100. Format is demos plus conversation: a brief Pinecone kickoff, community live demos, then open networking. The room is built for people shipping RAG, agentic workflows, or adjacent AI systems who want peer density on the Westside tech map. Pinecone hosts the series as a community meetup, not a product keynote: the kickoff is brief, then community members run live demos before the room opens for conversation.

Tuesday, August 11, 2026, 5:00-7:00 PM at Gulp Restaurant & Brew Co, 13020 Pacific Promenade #1. Agenda runs meetup and drinks at 5:00, kickoff at 5:30, demos at 5:45, open networking from 6:15, wrap at 7:00. RSVP on Luma; the host asks for a work email. Pinecone also lists the night on its community events page.

If you need a formal investor pitch slot, Tuesday’s other Westside option is NachoNacho’s screened SaaS/AI rooftop in Santa Monica - a different filter and a different room. Here the signal is implementation talk: how something was built, what broke, what shipped. Capacity can tighten as the series grows past 100, so treat the Luma page as live inventory, not a standing reservation. Work email on the Luma RSVP is a host request. May’s 70 and July’s 80 are the growth signal; August past 100 means RSVP even if you have been before.

Confirm the RSVP, any waitlist, and the Promenade address before you plan the Westside commute. Arrive for the 5:00 drinks block if you want conversation before demos start; the night wraps at 7:00.
