The gathering

What to look forward to

Past AI hackathon, demo, and pitch-night winners will share how their projects have evolved, the challenges they’ve faced, and what they’ve learned, followed by food, drinks, and relaxed networking. The pay-what-you-wish gathering supports the volunteer-led Tri-Valley chapter of The AI Collective, a global nonprofit connecting more than 200,000 AI leaders, builders, and stakeholders across 100+ forums.

Inside the event

Beyond the Spotlight

Hear from our past winners of our AI hackathons, demo and pitch nights. They’ll share how their projects have evolved, the challenges they’ve faced, and what they’ve learned since taking the stage. More details coming soon!

This is a pay-what-you-wish end of year community gathering. Contributions of any amount are appreciated, and everyone is welcome, whether or not you donate.

Reconnect & Celebrate

Stay for food, drinks, and relaxed networking. Catch up with familiar faces, meet new people, and celebrate a year of building and learning together.

Give Back, Build Forward

Our Tri-Valley chapter is powered by volunteers who give their time to bring this community together. If our events have helped you learn, connect, or pursue an idea, please consider contributing to help cover this gathering’s costs and make future events possible. Every amount is appreciated.

As always, food and drink, engaging conversation, and incredible company will all be provided!

Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to. If you are not accepted to this event, please keep applying! We appreciate your application tremendously and we are looking forward to seeing you at a future event very soon!
