Agenda is coming!
🚨 Confirmed: Tesla Robotaxi is coming to GenAI Week! ✅
For the first time ever in the Bay Area, you'll get to see the Tesla Robotaxi live — and even test ride it.
🤖 1 Tesla Robotaxi you can actually ride
📍Venue Map
First Floor
→ GPT Stage | Align Stage | VIP Room | Exhibition Halls
Second Floor
→ AGI Stage (yes, it’s fancier upstairs!)
🅿️ Parking Alert
Free parking is available on the third floor of the Convention Center parking structure (first come, first parked!).
🚫 Second floor = strictly for Hyatt guests — unless you’re planning to sneak in as room service (we don’t recommend it 😅).
☕ Coffee & 🍪 Snacks
We’ve got coffee and water flowing all day to keep your genius fueled.
Craving a little crunch? Snacks roll out from 2:00PM - 3:00PM — aka the magical hour of productivity dips and cookie lifts.
📡 WiFi Situation (brace yourselves...)
There is no official WiFi provided.
Yes, we know — this is so anti-AI of us.
And no, Starlink is not allowed, so maybe just bring some ideas… or better yet, talk to a human next to you.
📲 Download the “Whova” App to connect with fellow innovators during GenAI Week!
We’ve done our best to make this event experience unforgettable — but let’s be real: organizing for 10,000+ attendees and 100+ speakers? It’s a beautiful kind of chaos.
So dive in, meet brilliant minds, and enjoy the ride. The future is messy, magical, and very much underway. 💥
🚫 Tiny (but expensive) reminder:
Please don’t bring in outside food (yes, that includes your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even that innocent little snack) into the SCCC meeting rooms or exhibit halls. The venue will fine us $3,000 if even one rogue cookie dares to crumble where it shouldn't.
We know. We feel like indentured servants to the gods of venue property management too. 🙃 Thanks for helping us not get financially obliterated — you’re the real MVP. 🙏
📸 Event Photos
We’ll be uploading photos from each day of GenAI Week every evening — stay tuned!
Download links will be provided so you can grab your favorite moments and memories.
Smile big, you might just end up on the highlight reel. 😎
We have photos from two amazing photographers，
🤯Thoughts? Questions? Brilliant ideas? Mild complaints about the coffee?
Welcome to Silicon Valley — where the future is always just one awkward networking moment away 😄
I’d love to hear from you — whether it’s over a quick coffee, a deep soul-level chat, or a spontaneous brainstorm about how we can make this community even more magical. Let’s build something weird and wonderful together.
Let’s connect:

🌌 Behind the Scenes — Our Visual Theme
The design of this summit — from the stages to the vibes — was crafted with love by me and my amazing teammates.
This year’s theme? “Portals” and “Pathways to the Future.”
Because we believe we’re standing right at the edge of a new tech window — in an era of overwhelming information and infinite possibilities.
So… let’s work hard, play hard, and stir some glorious chaos together. 🚀✨
