frAIdays: Monthly AI Lunch Series in Folsom
Every rush starts somewhere.
November 2026
What is frAIdays
Lunch. Builders.
Real work.
frAIdays is a monthly gathering at Granite City Workspaces in Historic Downtown Folsom — built for the full spectrum of the AI community. Lunch to start, then three simultaneous sessions at different levels. Nobody gets left behind. Nobody gets bored.
It's the gathering point for the Folsom–Rancho Cordova AI ecosystem along the Highway 50 corridor. Monthly. Free to attend.
frAIdays is hosted at Granite City Workspaces, home of The Garage at Granite City, a private founder workspace.
90 minutes of silent, shared focus (15 seats). Bring one thing you've been meaning to finish. Doors lock at 9:15, so arrive by 9:05. Phones go in a basket. Hosted by Sedale. $15, free for Granite City members.
Hands-on Claude training for small business owners, led by Orbital Beam, an Approved Claude SMB Trainer. Free, approval required by the host, seats limited.
Highway 50 runs from gold country up to Tahoe — the same road that once carried prospectors uphill now carries skiers. frAIdays borrows the mountain's rating system for its rooms: five session levels, marked the way a ski run is, so you self-assess instead of guessing where you fit.
See the Luma event page for the November session lineup. JT22 Founders Office Hours round out the day from 2:00–4:00 PM.
Individual support from JT22 founders. Bring what you're working on and what's blocking you. Reserve a slot when you RSVP on Luma, or ask about walk-up availability at check-in if slots remain.

FAQ
Common questions.
Do I need to be technical to attend?
Not at all. Our easiest sessions are designed specifically for people who are new to AI — small business owners, consultants, managers, and anyone who knows AI matters but hasn't figured out where to start. Come curious. That's enough.
Is it free?
Yes. frAIdays is free to attend. Lunch is available for purchase ($15 ahead of time, $20 on-site) — the sessions, the conversation, and the community are all free.
How do I know which track is right for me?
When you RSVP on Luma, you'll answer one question about where you are in your AI journey. We use that to guide you toward the right session. You're also welcome to float between sessions — the format is built for it.
What should I bring?
Yourself and an appetite. For the hands-on sessions, bring a laptop — you'll want to follow along. If you have a project or workflow you're working on, bring that too.
Where do I park?
Granite City Workspaces has on-site parking, and Historic Downtown Folsom has street parking and nearby lots. It's an easy arrival — plan a few extra minutes if you're coming from the freeway at lunch hour.
Is this just for people in Folsom?
No. frAIdays is the gathering point for the entire Highway 50 AI corridor — Folsom, El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, and beyond. If you're in the region and work with or want to work with AI, this is your event.
How often does frAIdays happen?
Kyle and the team pick a date each month — it's not always the same weekday. We're several volumes in now and building this into a lasting fixture for the local AI community.
