Bytes & Bites: AI and the Future of Work

​Is AI coming for your job? Come ask the people who actually know.

​

​Bytes & Bites is a free, intimate networking happy hour for Bay Area tech professionals, founders, and anyone navigating what AI means for their career. We're skipping the vague keynotes and putting together a panel of practitioners who are living through this transition right now — at companies like Apple, KPMG, and Standard Chartered Bank.

​

​This isn't a conference. It's a patio, some food, real panelists, and an honest conversation.

​

​Dogs welcome on the patio.

​

​Come with questions. Leave with connections.
