Tuesday, March 31 Tuesday opens with FC SF • Founders Run & Coffee! in San Francisco from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM PDT. If your preferred version of networking involves movement and caffeine instead of awkward hovering, this is probably your speed. It’s presented by Founders Common and hosted by Founders Common, Nikki Heyder, and Chris Ashley. A very easy one to join if you want to meet people without the usual event pressure. Check Luma and pull up. Then there’s Spring 2026 AI Forum: Talks + AI Agent Workshops in Menlo Park from 9:30 AM to 4:30 PM PDT. This is one of the more substantial events of the week — a mix of talks and workshops centered on AI agents. It’s presented by TechEquity AI and hosted with Sheena Tu, Mahan Soltanzadeh, Dave Nielsen, and Silicon Valley AI Hub. If you want depth, this feels like one of the best bets. Definitely worth checking out on Luma. Next up is -1 to Replit with Amjad & Haya in San Francisco from 3:30 PM to 5:00 PM PDT. The title alone is enough to make people curious, which is usually a good sign. It’s presented by South Park Commons and hosted by South Park Commons. If you like founder stories, product journeys, or hearing how real companies evolve, this one has a strong hook. Go look it up on Luma. Then we have SF GrabChai: Remake the Web ✨ in San Francisco from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PDT. This sounds like a nice mix of product conversation and community energy. It’s presented by GrabChai and hosted by The Product Folks, Rakshanda Bijjam, Mahaq Tromboo, and Caroline Ciaramitaro. If you’re into product, builders, and idea-heavy conversations, this could be a really fun room. Check it out on Luma. One of the most interesting titles on the list is A Case for the Boring AI Company, in San Francisco from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT. That title cuts nicely against the usual AI hype, which makes it instantly more interesting. It’s presented by TheAgentic and hosted by TheAgentic, Akash, Kevin Mei, Emily, Workato, and Sahar Mor. If you like conversations grounded in business reality instead of shiny noise, this one feels worth attending. Look it up on Luma. There’s also the afore portfolio spring showcase in San Francisco from 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM PDT. This feels like a good one for anyone interested in startups, venture, and the broader portfolio ecosystem. It’s presented by Afore Capital and hosted by Jack McClelland, Kayla Kavanaugh, and Yulia. If you want exposure to companies and people in that orbit, check Luma and see if it fits your week. Then there’s Real World Applications of AI for Chemical Design in San Carlos from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM PDT. This is a strong example of AI moving into real verticals instead of staying abstract. It’s presented by Serna Bio and hosted by Maurinne Bonnet, Rabia, Aaron Lazarus, and MBC BioLabs. If you’re interested in applied AI beyond the usual software loop, this is one to look at on Luma. For the builders, Dev Setup Demos - Show your agents.md! in San Francisco from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM PDT looks especially current. It’s presented by All Things Web and hosted by Andre Landgraf, Erik Thorelli, and Michael Grinich. This feels like the kind of event where you walk away with actual ideas, setups, and patterns. If that’s your lane, go find it on Luma. Also happening is The AI Collective Tri-Valley in Dublin from 5:30 PM to 8:30 PM PDT. This one has more of a regional community feel, which can sometimes make for better conversations than the bigger headline events. It’s presented by The AI Collective and hosted by Jessie Chen, Meagan Callahan, Cara Houck, and Gretchen Codus. Check Luma if you want something AI-focused outside the usual SF cluster. Then there’s The AI Hustle: Happy Hour for Startup Founders & VCs in San Francisco from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT. Pretty straightforward and pretty useful: founders, investors, conversations. It’s hosted by Louisa Lu and Paul Sullivan. If you want a lower-pressure networking format, this could be a great one to join. Pull it up on Luma. For the infrastructure crowd, South Bay Systems: Consensus & Full Text Search is happening in Menlo Park from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT. It’s presented by South Bay Systems and hosted by Alex Miller, Benjamin Owad, and Qian Li. This one feels especially relevant if your interests lean technical, systems-heavy, or infra-adjacent. Check Luma if that sounds like your kind of evening. If you want something lighter, there’s Arena Jeopardy [AI Developers & Founders Trivia Night] in San Francisco from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT. It’s presented by Open AGI and hosted by Sentient Foundation. Not every good event needs to be a panel and a name tag, so this is a fun change of pace. Go find it on Luma if you want a more playful room. Then there’s The Future of Engineering Leadership in the AI Era in San Francisco from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM PDT. This one shifts from building tools to leading teams through change. It’s presented by Revelo and hosted by Andrew Lodwig and Sahar Mor. If you care about how engineering orgs are changing because of AI, this is worth a look on Luma. There’s also the Southeast Asia Tech and Investor Mixer Fireside Chat in San Francisco from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM PDT. Hosted by Vincent Song, Adriel Yong, and Ara Kyi, this adds a geography and community layer to the week. If that network is relevant to you, definitely check it out on Luma. Then we have OpenClaw Workshop II in Palo Alto from 6:00 PM to 9:00 PM PDT. Hosted by MoltPod Admin, Aditya Pashupati Advani, and Dominic Damoah, this fits right into the broader autonomous-agents theme that’s running through the whole week. If you want workshop energy instead of passive listening, look it up on Luma. Tuesday wraps with CTO Dinner - An Evening for Engineering Leaders in San Francisco from 6:30 PM to 8:30 PM PDT. Hosted by Sidhdharth, Baargav Duggirala, and Sahar Mor, this one is clearly aimed at more senior technical leadership. If that’s your crowd, or where you want to learn, go see the details on Luma.
