There are moments in technology when the direction of an entire industry is decided.
Not on Twitter. Not in corporate ivory towers.
But in rooms where the people actually building the future converge - the founders exploring new markets, the researchers that discover breakthrough technologies, the investors funding the shift, and the operators that engineer the infrastructure behind it all.
On Sunday, March 15, AI+ Renᴬᴵssance is bringing together the builders defining this new era of AI, right in the heart of San Francisco.
Positioned intentionally between GDC and NVIDIA’s GTC, AI+ Renᴬᴵssance will be a high density convergence of 2,000 of the best founders, researchers, operators, and investors shaping the next generation of intelligent systems.
The Conference
AI+ Renᴬᴵssance will be where we will have speakers such as:
Parag Agrawal - Founder, CEO of Parallel Web Systems and former CEO/CTO at Twitter
Michele Catasta - President and Head of AI at Replit
Jeff Wang - CEO of Windsurf (acq Cognition)
Tanay Kothari - Co-founder, CEO of Wispr Flow
Jason Lopatecki - Founder, CEO of Arize AI
and 25+ leading figures in AI
This will also be ground zero where 8 hyper-scaling startups will be going out of stealth, launching new products, or announcing latest partnerships live on stage.
Why you need to be in the room
As we head into the rest of 2026, the AI landscape will undergo some seismic changes, and the narratives discussed on AI+ Renaissance weekend will set the tone for it - deeper technical breakthroughs, products that feel like magic, and projections on where this industry is headed, across topics currently dominating headlines such as:
Agentic Systems: Agents are now autonomous, capable and increasingly reliable - longer horizons, deeper reasoning, and embedded in every device with innovations like Openclaw.
Multimodal Systems: AI is also expanding into new formats with more breakthroughs in voice, video and world models. Now AI can see, hear and perceive the world clearer then ever.
Embodied AI & Robotics: Intelligence paired with physical hardware, from note-takers with memory to robots that are beginning to see adoption in every industry, setting and environments - from warehouses to kitchens.
AI Infrastructure: The massive data centers, compute, and supporting systems that keeps the entire industry moving ahead at light speed, with as little down time as possible.
Why Renᴬᴵssance Should Be On Your Calendar
If you’re deciding where to spend your time this March, optimize for leverage.
Renᴬᴵssance will be a high-density event - the kind where a single weekend can compress months of conversations, and change the direction of what’s meaningful to built.
1. Curated Room, Not Open Crowd
This is 2,000 people who are actively building, funding, or deploying AI systems, not spectators - founders shipping product, engineers solving hard infra problems, investors writing checks, operators integrating AI into real workflows.
2. Strategic Gravity
San Francisco becomes the center of the tech and AI world between GDC and GTC. Everyone is already in town. Renᴬᴵssance is the intentional convergence point that connects those ecosystems - gaming, chips, research, infra, agents - into one room.
3. Builder-First Programming
We’ve engineered the agenda around real implementation e.g. agents in production, multimodal architectures, inference and infrastructure bottlenecks, real-world successes and failures with robots etc.
Renᴬᴵssance is not meant to just be generic AI optimism and recycled keynote decks. Everything is intentionally curated for the highest signal compressed over one full-day agenda.
4. Proximity to Decision-Makers
At Renᴬᴵssance, speakers and key figures aren’t hidden behind velvet ropes. Founders, researchers, and investors will be in the hallway having conversations, and the conference will be structured for partnerships and deals to actually form.
If you care about where AI is heading - and want to shape it rather than react to it - this is the weekend to be in the room.
