Show the work
Demos > decks
Bring the artifact: the flow, the prototype, the PR, the launch metrics, the failed experiment. We're here for how it actually got built.
A meetup community for people who ship
Tech, Product, Design—
in one room. Builders only.
Chargebee is starting a builder-first meetup where the point is simple: show the work, share the tradeoffs, and leave with something you can use. No hype. No gatekeeping. Just shipping.
The format
Builder-first
Short talks with artifacts
Show the work: the flow, the prototype, the PR, the metrics, the failed experiment.
Teardowns that go deep
Product intent, design choices, constraints, and implementation realities—dissected.
Structured networking
Meet people by what they're building, not job titles.
What this is
Not a conference. Not a webinar. A builder room.
Decision trails
Tradeoffs, not trophies
The most useful part isn't the outcome—it's the decision trail. What did you cut? What did you keep? What would you do again?
Cross-functional
Builders at the intersection
Roles blur. This community is for people who touch product, design, and code—sometimes all in the same day.
Format (lightweight, repeatable)
Designed to fit into a weekday evening.
10–12 min
How it shipped
Short talks with one constraint: show an artifact. Leave out the origin story unless it changed the build.
20 min
Teardown
We pick a flow and dissect it: product intent, design choices, constraints, and implementation realities.
30–40 min
Builders' room
Structured networking (not awkward). You'll meet people by what they're building, not job titles.

FAQ
Clear answers, no mystery meat.
Do you have talks or speakers confirmed?
Not yet. This page is intentionally early: we're collecting interest and topic signals first. The "Coming soon" slots are placeholders so we can move fast once the first edition is scheduled.
Is this only for engineers?
No. It's for people who build: engineers, PMs, designers, founders, data/ML, and folks who wear multiple hats. The intersection is the point.
What's the vibe?
Practical. Low-ego. Artifact-first. Think "show what you shipped + what it took" rather than "big ideas on stage".
Where will it happen?
We'll start where there's concentration of interest. Share your city in the form—we'll use that to choose the first location(s).
