The biggest technical AI conference in San Francisco is just around the corner. If you’re a technical founder, CEO/CTO, VP of AI/Eng, or AI Engineer, this is the event you don’t want to miss.

Across 9 tracks plus a workshop day, you’ll learn deeply technical content presented by engineers & founders from the top companies in AI Engineering including Microsoft, OpenAI, AWS, Google, and many more to be announced soon.

Currently about 40% of attendees are technical founders, C-level execs & VPs, and 60% identify as technical ICs from AI Engineer to Principal Engineer. Around 70% come from outside the Bay, representing household names and Fortune 500 companies to hot startups fresh off a Seed or Series A.

🗓️ Wednesday, April 24th
📍 San Francisco

​Mission: This is the second event in The AI Age Begins series that is driving an ongoing conversation primarily focused on the positive potential of artificial intelligence in many fields and figuring out how to make the most of its potential. We want to help counter the mounting fears and negative narrative that could undermine the development of this important new general purpose technology. 

​Setting: We will gather in the Shack15 club overlooking the bay in the top floor of the iconic Ferry Building in San Francisco, which is ground zero of the region and for the emerging “Cerebral Valley” of Generative AI startups. The event will roll into more like a party afterward too. 

🗓️ Saturday, April 27th
📍 San Francisco

​🤖 Are you building AI agents?

​Do you want to make your agentic app better?

​Giving agentic apps a code interpreter type of engine makes the agent more powerful, gives it better reasoning, the ability to perform coding or data analysis tasks, or test its own output.

​Come and chat with us about what you're building. We will show how to build agents with code interpreters, regardless of your tech stack or LLM choice.
