We put AI to work through education, engineering, and events.
Backland Labs is a San Diego studio for companies that want practical AI workshops, custom AI systems, and events that bring people together.
Three ways to work with us
01
Education
We design and lead hands-on workshops that help teams understand AI tools and use them in their day-to-day work.
02
Engineering
We design and build custom AI products, agents, and automations around the way your business works.
03
Events
We build event communities for companies and produce our own gatherings for San Diego's AI builders.
Our events
We turn events into communities people return to.
We run the San Diego AI Tinkerers chapter and the San Diego Claude Community. Across 12 events, our meetups, workshops, and hackathons have drawn 1,341 sign-ups from people who want to learn, build, and connect.
We bring the same playbook to startups: shape the event, reach the right audience, promote it, and run an experience worth coming back for.
