Bring your next product question to the table Meet engineers, AI builders, founders and operators at Ascent Valley’s AI & Tech evening in San Francisco. Talk about what you’re building and meet people you could work with. Locals and visitors are equally welcome. Bring a product idea or a challenge from your work: choosing the right tools, improving an AI feature or finding a useful way to automate a process. Compare approaches with other guests and share what you’ve tried. Join small-group discussions before the company pitches. During open networking, get to know the people whose work interests you and explore where you could help each other.
Who you’ll meet
Why This Event Is Different Compare how people approach both the technology and the business behind a product. Ask why someone chose a tool, how they test it and what users actually need. These conversations help you understand how others work and whether there’s a reason to collaborate. Keep in touch through Ascent Valley after the evening.
