Last Saturday, over 30 builders packed into Factory Phnom Penh for PhnomShip's very first meetup. The energy was electric — it's clear that Phnom Penh's AI community has been waiting for a space like this.

The Talks

Sok Chanlina opened with a live demo of AgriVision's crop disease detection — scanning a photo of rice leaves and getting an instant diagnosis. Marco Weber shared hard-won lessons on deploying fintech AI in Cambodia's regulatory landscape. Davuth Mey closed with a thoughtful look at how Cambodia's government is approaching responsible AI.

The post-talk networking went long — people didn't want to leave. That's when you know the community is real. See you at PhnomShip #2!
