Explore how Physical AI systems turn robotics, sensor and vision data into real-world applications at this practical workshop and meetup in San Francisco. Co-presented by Nebius and Voxel51, this three-hour, in-person event combines short community talks with a hands-on introduction to building Physical AI applications using FiftyOne. It takes place on Wednesday, 28 October 2026, from 5:30pm to 8:30pm PDT at Antler San Francisco, 3rd Floor, 144 Townsend Street. What to expect The evening begins in a meetup format, with lightning talks from local speakers working across artificial intelligence, machine learning and computer vision. These concise sessions offer a look at the ideas and technical challenges shaping Physical AI before the programme moves into a practical workshop. During the hands-on portion, attendees will work with FiftyOne and explore key parts of the Physical AI development workflow, including: - Curating robotics and sensor datasets - Working with visual data captured in real-world environments - Evaluating computer vision models on real-world data - Building Physical AI applications with FiftyOne Bring a laptop if you want to follow along with the workshop. The blend of lightning talks and guided building makes this especially relevant to AI and machine learning practitioners, computer vision specialists, robotics teams, researchers and technical builders interested in data-centric development.

Hear Vanta CRO Stevie Case unpack go-to-market leadership with Granola VP of Sales Bardia Shahali in San Francisco on 5 November 2026. Inside the third GTM Series conversation Granola brings its speaker series back to San Francisco for a focused conversation with Stevie Case, Chief Revenue Officer at Vanta. She will sit down with Granola’s VP of Sales and event host, Bardia Shahali, as the series continues its mission to bring leading go-to-market operators into conversation with the Granola community. Stevie leads all go-to-market activity at Vanta, a Cloud 100-ranked security compliance company. Her remit spans: - Sales and customer success - Account management - Revenue operations - Wider go-to-market strategy and leadership Her perspective draws on more than 20 years spent leading sales teams and revenue organisations across very different stages of company growth, from 0-to-1 startups to major brands including Visa and Twilio.

⌖ San Francisco · Hyatt Regency, San Francisco

Hosted by QCon San Francisco / InfoQ

QCon San Francisco 2026 is where senior software practitioners gather to explore what's working in AI, architecture, leadership, and culture—straight from the teams already implementing these solutions in production. Taking place November 16-20, 2026 at the Hyatt Regency in San Francisco, this five-day event combines three days of conference sessions (Nov 16-18) with two days of hands-on training (Nov 19-20), giving you both strategic insight and practical skills to bring back to your team. Why Senior Engineers Attend QCon For over 20 years, QCon has been the trusted source for engineering leaders at companies like Amazon, Meta, Netflix, Google, Uber, and Goldman Sachs. This isn't another vendor-driven conference—it's a practitioner-led event where 60+ senior engineers share real-world implementation stories, architectural decisions, and lessons learned from building systems at scale. You'll hear from people who have already solved the problems you're facing, with candid discussions about what worked, what didn't, and why. What You'll Learn The conference focuses on four critical areas shaping modern software development: AI in Production — Move beyond the hype and learn how teams are actually deploying AI systems, managing model operations, and integrating machine learning into existing architectures. Discover practical approaches to AI governance, testing strategies for non-deterministic systems, and how to build teams that can ship AI features reliably. Software Architecture Evolution — Explore how leading engineering organizations are evolving their architectures to meet modern demands. From microservices patterns to platform engineering, from data mesh implementations to API design at scale, you'll see how architecture decisions impact velocity, reliability, and team productivity. Engineering Leadership — Learn how senior engineers are navigating the shift from individual contributor to technical leader. Topics include building high-performing teams, making technical decisions with imperfect information, balancing innovation with stability, and creating cultures where engineers can do their best work. Modern Development Practices — Discover emerging patterns in software delivery, from platform engineering approaches to developer experience optimization, observability strategies, and how teams are adapting their practices for AI-assisted development.
