AI-native teams in 2026: Reality check for founders, CTOs , product enthusiasts. Sharp talks, exclusive whitepaper debut & casual networking
About this Event

Get ready for AI Crafts Boulder, we're bringing back your favorite product event with an executive focus!

Is your team AI-native enough for 2026? Not in buzzwords, but in day-to-day execution. Are your developers living and breathing copilots and AI agents as they design, code, test, and ship? What should you actually expect from product teams, and what's just hype-cycle exaggeration?

At AI Crafts Boulder, we're bringing together founders, CTOs, and product leaders for a reality check on what AI-native development looks like today, and what "good" should mean inside your product teams in 2026. After helping dozens of clients build AI-ready product teams at Bobcats Coding, we've learned what separates genuine AI fluency from surface-level adoption. No fluff. No hype. Just usable insights on structuring teams for AI-native development and practical tips with real case studies on how AI Engineering team leads think and operate in practice. Expect sharp talks on accelerating product development with AI, and during the evening, we'll debut Bobcats Coding's latest whitepaper, the AI Team Augmentation Guide. Arrive early and grab one of the exclusive printed copies.

And the conversation doesn't stop when the presentations end – we'll have drinks and snacks ready for a social mixer where you can connect with fellow founders, CTOs, and product leaders tackling similar challenges. 🍹✨

Let's meet at the Kiln for a refreshingly honest late-afternoon executive meetup that cuts through AI hype and focuses on what really works!

When: February 19th, 2026 | 5:00-7:15 PM
Where: Kiln | The Theater, Boulder

Admission is free, but we kindly request that you register in advance to secure your spot.
