The Dev Dinner
Join us for an intimate dinner in the heart of SF. We’re bringing together some of the city’s best and brightest engineers, technical founders and AI researchers for good food and even better conversation.
Everything is handpicked, focusing on:
👋 The people – carefully selected on their own merit; this isn't a place for high ego. It's an opportunity to exchange ideas, solve problems and enjoy open-minded conversations that advance the world of engineering.
🏡 The venue – think high ceilings, comfortable seats and good music; this venue has hosted some of the most successful builders that have lived and worked in SF over the years.
🍽️ The food – our events always centre around good food. Think family-style, made for sharing and 'breaking bread' together with new connections. As a note: please include any dietary info so we can accomodate.

🔒 Requirements – We don't like being unnecessarily exclusive, but these events are always popular, and we only have 20 spots. We had over 1,500 apply to join us at SXSW last year, and over 500 apply to join us in London more recently. Make it easy for us to learn about you and include a sentence or two about who you are - first preference goes to lead engineers, senior developers, and data scientists/researchers.
⏰ On the night - 6:30 PM arrival (location shared with confirmed attendees).
