Build AI agents faster, from prototype to production at MongoDB.local Build Fest San Francisco.

MongoDB is the data platform for the agentic era. Spend a day learning alongside the founders, architects, and engineers shipping high-performance agents into production — then celebrate at the Builders' Afterparty, featuring a special DJ set (TBA).

Featuring World-Class Technical Leaders

Get a rare look inside how the best are building with AI. Hear directly from technical leaders building production AI systems, including:

  • Jim Scharf — Chief Technology Officer, MongoDB

  • Frank Liu — Voyage AI Research Manager, MongoDB

  • Liam Bush — Deployed Engineer, LangChain

  • Pranil Vora — Senior Manager, AI Platform, Rivian

Additional speakers will be announced soon.

What to Expect

Built specifically for AI founders and fast-moving builders, Build Fest will show you how to:

  • Ship agents, not prototypes. Hands-on workshop on building AI agents with MongoDB and LangGraph

  • Go deep on vector search. From a beginner-to-pro hands-on lab to Rivian's real-world take on vector search with voice assist

  • Master high-performance data patterns. Sessions on data modeling and advanced query techniques for applications operating at scale

  • Consolidate your stack. See how unifying your memory store, vector store, and operational database on MongoDB cuts cost without slowing your team down

  • Run anywhere and build everywhere. Learn how to build and run on MongoDB across any environment. Avoid vendor lock-in, migrate freely, and distribute applications across clouds

  • Explore and connect all day. Dive into the Braindate Lounge, MongoDB Hub, sponsor Activations and Lounges, Skill Badging, and the Fellow Café, plus more.

Compete for up to $15,000 in prizes.

Build AI apps powered by agent memory on-site at The Persistent Context Sprint Hackathon, where models work with databases, APIs, documents, and business systems to maintain context over time. Finalists demo live before a winner is crowned. Learn more

The day wraps with the Builders' Afterparty — celebrate with fellow founders, engineers, and investors after a full day of building.
