Accept my placeThe tradition
Authorship, not consumption.
For more than a decade, BeNeXT has gathered project authors at institutional venues across the hemisphere: Georgetown University, the Organization of American States, embassies in Washington, Sevilla. Each convening has served the same purpose. An institutional threshold at which those who were always going to build are formally recognized, credentialed, and welcomed into a network that spans generations.
Author × AI brings that tradition to Mexico City. For the first time, artificial intelligence becomes the instrument through which authorship is recognized. What you build during these three days is entered permanently into your institutional record. Portable, lifelong, earned.
The summer of the Mundial
The same city. Two ways to appear.
This summer, the world arrives in Mexico City. The FIFA World Cup 2026 brings thirty-two nations under the same sky. A collective act of competition, identity, and belonging that happens once in a generation on Mexican soil.
Author × AI runs inside that summer. While the stadiums gather millions, BeNeXT gathers a select group of authors at an institutional venue to build their own work. The same city. The same hour of the world. Two distinct ways of appearing on the global stage.
When a World Cup match falls within convening hours, we watch it together at the venue. An institutional pause, not a party. And at the close of the World Cup, Futuro Las Americas MMXXVI arrives in Mexico City for the first time in the history of the organization. Ten residential days. We will share the details with you inside the convening.
Those who pass through Mexico City this summer will leave with memories. Those who pass through Author × AI will leave with an artifact, a credential, and an entry in an institutional record. It is the difference between attending and authoring.
Not a course
An execution environment. An institutional threshold.
Three days in institutional residence. No abstract curriculum. No theory divorced from the work. Each author arrives with an idea and leaves with an artifact. A system, a tool, a workflow. Built in real time with Claude and the command line, within the focused intimacy of Chez Vous TimeCafé on Bucareli.
BeNeXT does not train students. It shapes project authors. Author × AI is the condensed form of that shaping. Applied to generative tools, rendered at the scale of three days, recognized for life.
Real tools
Claude and the command line. The same instruments used by authors already building at scale in institutions, startups, and government.
Your project
Not an academic exercise. The idea you bring becomes the artifact you leave with. Your authorship, your execution, your evidence.
Institutional mentorship
Three days of direct accompaniment from BeNeXT faculty. No solo struggle. No ideas abandoned for lack of institutional support.
NeXT credential
A NeXT-issued evidence credential: Project Leadership, AI Project Authorship. Stackable toward Certification I. Portable, lifelong, earned.
What the convening includes
From idea to real project, in three days.
Friday July 3 through Sunday July 5. Full immersion.
Direct accompaniment across the three days.
The project you build during the convening is yours. Portable.
Credential issued by NeXT on the work demonstrated during the convening. Stackable toward Certification I: Project Leadership.
Chez Vous TimeCafé (Bucareli), Mexico City. WiFi, working rooms, Mexican specialty coffee. For specific sessions, complemented by Biblioteca Vasconcelos.
Each author brings their own: Claude Pro or Claude Max.
A convening for authors, not spectators.
Environments to learn about AI in the abstract exist everywhere. Author × AI is for project authors ready to build.
