7 events, every month
Every month, we cut through the noise and surface 7 AI-focused Bay Area events worth attending — no endless Luma scrolling required.
Your shortcut to amazing AI events.
The drop
6–9pm · GitHub HQ, SoMa
Why go
The most focused single-topic AI event in SF right now. Talks cover real production deployments, not prototypes. The Q&A sessions routinely run over time because the room refuses to let good threads die.
7–9:30pm · Stripe HQ, SoMa
Why go
Engineers who have shipped LLM features at scale sharing what actually broke and how they fixed it. Zero marketing-speak. Come with specific questions and you will get specific answers.
6–8pm · Anthropic, Mission Bay
Why go
A working paper club. Bring a printout. People disagree publicly and politely. By the end of the night you understand a paper you would have otherwise skimmed and forgotten.
6:30–9pm · Skydeck Garage, Berkeley
Why go
Eight teams, eight working demos, ten minutes each. Real robots, real failures, real cheering. If you only see one robotics night this quarter, this is the one.
4–7pm · South Park Commons, SoMa
Why go
Founders sitting at tables with their problems written on index cards. You walk up to the table you can help, you sit down, you talk. The best networking format we have ever seen.
6–9pm · Notion HQ, Mission
Why go
Hands-on workshops, not slide decks. Bring a laptop. You will leave having shipped something small but real, alongside people who solve the same problems you do.
8–11pm · The Midway, Dogpatch
Why go
Artists demoing live generative sets next to engineers showing the models powering them. The crowd actually dances. This is what “AI for creativity” looks like when it works.
