​IMPORTANT TLDR

• ​DRESS CODE ENFORCED - Your best formal attire required. We've put significant effort into creating a premium experience and ask that you dress accordingly.

• ​Why is it a paid event? We've thoughtfully curated this gathering and want to ensure everyone who commits actually joins us. Plus, all proceeds directly fund micro-grants for builders.

​What is this?

​Imagine the MET Gala—but for nerds. An evening where brains meet glam.

​Come dressed to impress: tech-chic, maximalist or minimalist, futuristic or academic. It’s San Francisco—style rules were made to be rewritten, as long as you're not wearing sweatpants and a hoodie.

​The nerdier, the cooler.

​All proceeds from gala tickets will go directly towards micro-grants for builders—we fund dreams with your drip and attendance.

​What’s Happening?

​Beyond the red carpet lies a 22-bedroom four-story mansion brimming with surprises. And we're leaving this all to suspense.

​Every floor, every corner, every detail is designed to delight the curious.

​Dress Code:

​Dress formal. And carry a tech relic or souvenir of your choosing.

​Your “souvenir” could be anything from an Iron Man suit to a copy of Designing Data-Intensive Applications by O’Reilly in your hand. Your flair is your entry. No souvenir and no formals = no entry. This is a gala for creative minds—show us yours.

​What to Bring:

• ​Your most iconic look

• ​Your whimsical spirit

• ​And two of your best friends (see below on how to)

​Who to Invite:

​When you receive an invite, you get two codes to share. We encourage you to invite one male and one female friend to help us keep a balanced energy (and a near 50/50 gender ratio).

​Choose the friends you’d actually want beside you on this mysterious night :)

​Check your email inbox after signing up to receive your invite codes to share. They may end up in spam.

​How to Join:

​Invite-only. By design. We handpicked close friends across various San Francisco circles and gave each of them two invitations to continue the chain.

​The only two ways to get in:

• ​Get an invite code from a friend

• ​Or purchase a sponsor ticket

​A celebration of minds, masks, and magic.
