SVAI Hub: One-Year Celebration! AI, Community & What Comes Next
The Lowdown 👋
On September 22, the SVAI Hub turns one — and we are celebrating with the community that made it real! Join us for a night of real conversations about AI, community, and what comes next. We will have:
A panel with AI builders, community leaders, and founders moderated by Jeremiah Owyang
Builders who came here for a hackathon weekend and are still shipping
Stories from startups who built their companies right inside these walls.
Plus food, music, a photo booth, and more!
The SVAI Hub was built on one conviction: the best AI doesn't get built in isolation. It gets built by communities — developers leveling up together, founders stress-testing ideas with peers, researchers colliding with practitioners in the same room. In September 2025, we opened our space in the heart of Silicon Valley. Not for vendor pitches. Not for product demos. For the conversations and connections that actually move the field forward.
One year in, the numbers tell part of the story.
100+ AI community events. 8,000+ developers, founders, and executives through our doors. Four hackathons that launched real projects and real careers. But honestly, it is the conversations happening in the room that we are most proud of!
Come for the milestone. Stay for the momentum, connections and networking!

Is This Your Crowd? 👀
This event is designed for the AI community — and that means all of it. If you are an engineer or developer actively building with AI, a researcher pushing the field forward, a founder scaling an AI startup, or an executive figuring out where AI fits in your organization's future, you will find the conversations and the people in the room directly relevant. We also welcome those who are earlier in the journey — someone looking to break into AI, learn from practitioners, or understand what is actually happening beyond the headlines.
Whether you are shipping AI products in production, growing a company you started at a hackathon, running community programs that bring builders together, or just getting serious about AI for the first time — this is a room for people who believe the best AI gets built by people who show up for each other.
