What Comes After AI Agents? With Builders from OpenAI, DeepMind, NVIDIA & Amazon
⚠️ Important:
Bring a physical government-issued photo ID (18+; digital IDs not accepted).
📝 Event Details
When intelligence becomes a cheap commodity, where does durable value actually land?
Will it be captured by the frontier labs building larger foundation models, the founders assembling agentic workflows, or whoever controls distribution and the human relationships software cannot scrape? And as agents automate routine knowledge work, what comes next?
We’re putting these questions to the people building the frontier. Join builders from OpenAI, Google DeepMind, and NVIDIA for “The Next Paradigm of AI: What Comes After Agents?”, an evening of candid debate, open Q&A, and curated networking, on Wednesday, Nov 11 at the AWS Gen AI Loft San Francisco.

⚙️ What We Will Cover
We're four years into the AI wave and still early. Our panelists will tackle the questions every builder and investor is asking:
Who captures the value: labs, founders, or investors?
Where value lands: agents, distribution, or infrastructure?
What comes after agents: memory, continual learning, world models, or new kinds of companies?
What to build and back now as intelligence keeps getting cheaper.
🙋♂️ Who Should Attend
Founders, researchers, and operators who are passionate about AI
Anyone exploring the next paradigm of AI and what it means for knowledge work and building a business
Investors backing the agent and application layer of AI
After the panel, bring a real question or problem you're working on to the open Q&A. We'll also help match you with the right people in the room.
