AI Council is where the engineers who architect AI infrastructure break down what works in production. Years of building this community has taught us the value isn't in any single talk or session. It's in the collisions and random bolts of lightning that occur in the hallways, office hours, happy hours, and session rooms at AI Council.
‍

Engineers, data people, technical PMs, CTOs, ML leads – the people actually building, shipping, and operating AI systems. They come to share what they've learned and to hear how others have solved hard problems.

That geeky exchange is the heartbeat of AI Council. What works, what doesn't, and what's next. And each year after the conference wraps, there’s only one way we can describe it —

‍

What to Expect:
‍

Deep Technical Dives

Real talk from engineers who've actually shipped it — production stories, architectural decisions, and hard-won lessons.

‍

Speaker Office Hours

Get dedicated Q&A time with speakers after each talk. Bring your hardest problems and debug them with the people who built the systems.

‍

Hands-On Workshops

Build real things alongside the engineers who have built the AI tools you use everyday.

‍

AI After Hours

Clear your calendar. "AIC Week" turns all of SF into the venue. Expect side events, parties, and meetups every night!

‍

AI Council is where the magic happens.'

Join us for technical talks and conversations with teams who are building the AI-powered systems everyone else will be talking about next year.

‍

Looking forward to seeing you this year!
