Photonics: Computing at the Future of Light!
⚡ UPDATE: Photonics for the Future of Data Centers AI & Robotics Meetup will be Wednesday at 6 PM at Amador Club (10th floor on 550 Montgomery St)
---------
Photonics: Computing at the Future of Light!
After hours from TechCrunch Disrupt Week
Join us to accelerate photonic technology and help power the next generation of compute. Photonic computing can make data centers a seamless, valuable fabric of our local communities once again—slashing local power and water demands, contributing energy back to the grid, and building workforce skills for the future of AI compute.

This exclusive Wednesday evening mixer brings together the sharpest minds shaping this movement: pioneering inventors, early- to late-stage founders, and forward-thinking venture capitalists.
Photonic computing R&D is evolving rapidly across AI infrastructure, ternary operating systems, optical networking, and neural dynamic graph intelligence. By harnessing light, these breakthroughs unlock unprecedented compute power, minimize latency, drastically improve power efficiency, and eliminate extreme cooling water usage.
If you are building, backing, or deploying the hardware, orchestration engines, and software frameworks powering tomorrow's compute, this is the room where the next generation of deep tech partnerships gets forged.
Space is strictly limited to ensure high-value connections.
Apply to attend before capacity is reached.
