About San Francisco · October 2026

Disrupt week winds down, and then a run of AI conferences and one big demo day takes over. GitHub Universe hits Fort Mason Oct 28 with agent launches, then AI Engineer Code Summit (Nov 10) and Cerebral Valley (Nov 12) follow, both gated rooms. YC Demo Day on Dec 2 is the date seed funds have blocked. This week, catch Modal's AI Builder's Night and South Park Commons' Oct 16 fireside with Sunday Robotics' Tony Zhao.
