SIGNAL I
The first SIGNAL meetup - 50 people, demos instead of slides, and conversations that make you want to rewrite your roadmap.
SIGNAL is North Star's flagship AI and Robotics meetup. Not a conference. A room for people who build with intelligence. Fifty people showed up for the first edition.
Thomas Huybrechts from imec opened with a live animatronics demo - a social robotics parrot that turned the room into a mix of fascination and nervous laughter. The kind of demo you don't forget.
Samuel Berton and Daria Matviichuk, winners of our first hackathon, followed with a talk on their project Bugify and how vibecoding is eating the software industry. Two builders who shipped something real, standing on stage weeks later explaining why it matters.
The kind of evening where you walk in with one idea and leave with three.
