Blok Dinner: Learners Research Week 🥳
​Ready to talk about the future of research? You’re in the right place.
​On Monday, May 11th, we’re hosting an intimate, invitation-only dinner in San Francisco as part of Learners Research Week, bringing together a small group of senior individual-contributor researchers and research leaders.
​The goal for the evening is simple: slow things down and create space for meaningful conversation. We want to bring together people who care deeply about research to exchange perspectives, share experiences, and talk openly about how our field is evolving — from organizational challenges to the tools, methods, and trade-offs shaping the way we work today.
​With the rapid rise of AI, many of us are asking the same questions. Change can feel exciting, but also a little uncertain. Rather than seeing it as a threat, this dinner is an opportunity to explore together how these new technologies might support and expand the work we do.
​There will be no panels, no presentations, and no pitches — just great food and honest conversations with peers facing similar challenges. Together, we’ll reflect on one of the questions many research teams are grappling with today:
​💡 How can we better understand — and even anticipate — what our users are truly trying to communicate to us?
​​WHO SHOULD ATTEND
​​This dinner is intended for:
​​Senior IC researchers
​​Research leaders and managers
​​People actively shaping research practice inside their organisations
​​Space is limited to keep the experience intimate.
​​​YOUR HOST
​​Blok is a simulation layer for product decisions, creating digital
twins of users so teams can pre-test designs, features, or agent outputs in a sandbox - especially useful when recruitment is slow, samples are small, or traditional A/B tests are impractical or noisy.
​​​Featured in Techcrunch, Blok is backed by top product leaders, and is made up of a team of experienced engineers, operators and researchers from top AI labs, with extensive experience in behavior prediction.
​If you’d like to get a sneak peek of Blok before Research Week, take a moment to explore our Linktree! You can book a demo, meet the team, and dive into what makes our culture unique.
​We’d love for you to get to know us and see what we’re building 🚀
