About

Follow the White Rabbit into FIVE FLOORS of futuristic Wonderland filled with 2,000+ founders, visionary VCs, AI engineers, and tech trailblazers, all converging for a night of innovation, curiosity, and creativity.

Step through the looking glass where technology merges seamlessly with art, immersive installations dazzle the senses, and cutting-edge AI demos blur the lines between magic and machine.

Rub shoulders with the top names in AI and dance beneath a quantum-powered lightscape as the pulsating beats of San Francisco’s finest DJs carry you deeper into the night, punctuated by unforgettable performances and surprise appearances. Who knows—you might even catch a set by your favorite robot DJ!

Our last GigaParty was featured in Vice, SF Gate, Futurism, the New York Post, ABC News, Interesting Engineering, MSN, TechBreak, and more—and this year, we’re taking things to an entirely new level. 

Prepare yourself for a night you'll never forget, where curiosity reigns, innovation thrives, and the future comes alive. Are you ready to take the leap?
