AI Dev x SF | AI Developer Conference

The AI Developer Conference brings together over 3,000 pioneering developers at an immersive technical event in San Francisco. This unique two-day conference creates opportunities for knowledge sharing, innovation showcasing, and in-person networking among the brightest minds in AI development. Hosted by Andrew Ng, the founder of DeepLearning.AI, this event builds on the success of previous gatherings that have shaped the AI development community.

The conference emphasizes hands-on learning through interactive technical workshops where attendees gain practical AI skills. Insightful talks from leading experts provide frontline perspectives on AI development, while cutting-edge tool demonstrations show state-of-the-art applications in action. This combination of theory and practice ensures participants leave with actionable knowledge they can apply immediately.

A new AI Startup Track highlights emerging companies using artificial intelligence to solve real-world challenges. The conference explores critical topics including agentic AI for complex task handling, context engineering for improved accuracy, and multimodal AI applications that combine language, vision, and audio. These focus areas reflect the current priorities shaping AI development.

Workshop sessions cover coding with AI to maximize productivity through AI-assisted development workflows. Participants learn about building and scaling AI startups from prototype to production, while governance sessions address creating trustworthy, reliable, and safe intelligent systems. The conference balances technical depth with practical business applications.

The event builds on the success of the 2025 New York gathering, which brought together over 1,200 developers, builders, and researchers. This West Coast iteration promises to be larger and more comprehensive, reflecting the growing AI development community. The conference connects attendees with fellow builders, enabling idea sharing and new collaboration opportunities that extend well beyond the event itself.
