SF Tech Week

Spend October 7 at Spark House with the founders, investors and builders shaping AI. Hear from investors and leaders at companies like Emergence Capital, Cognition, Cerebras, Recursive, TikTok, and more.

Then build something of your own. Create an AI go-to-market team in our GenTeam build session, or explore GenCode alongside the Genspark team, with free credits to get started. Join the Spark House networking chat on GenTeam to introduce yourself, share what you're working on and find people you'd like to meet throughout the day.

Your registration includes all-day coffee, food and workspace, with opportunities to meet between sessions and continue the conversation over evening drinks. Some individual sessions may have limited capacity and require a separate RSVP.
