🗓️ Thursday, March 14th
📍 San Francisco

Mission: We want to initiate an ongoing conversation primarily focused on the positive potential of artificial intelligence in many fields and begin to build a case to fully embrace the huge opportunities opening up and accelerate finding the new ways forward. We want to help counter the mounting fears and negative narrative that could undermine the development of this 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. 

🗓️ Thursday, March 14th - Saturday, March 16th
📍 San Francisco

Everyone will have the opportunity to hear from speakers at Unity, AWS, a16z, and other top companies, and, of course, to build incredible XR apps and games. We can't wait to see you there!
