Industrial AI Summit: The Future of Manufacturing

​Industrial AI Summit: The Future of Manufacturing

​AI in Manufacturing, from factory floor automation to supply chain intelligence.

​An evening in San Francisco exploring how AI is transforming manufacturing, from production lines and robotics to procurement, quality control, logistics, and hardware development.

​Join SFPlayground for a high-signal gathering of founders, investors, engineers, operators, and technical leaders building across industrial AI, robotics, factory automation, supply chain software, computer vision, digital twins, hardware, and advanced manufacturing.

​Through panel discussion, startup demo tables, and curated ecosystem conversation, we’ll explore how AI is moving beyond software demos and physical prototypes, into the physical systems that design, build, inspect, move, and deliver real products.

​Dinner and drinks included.
