May 6, 2026 - 18:53
Big Technology is launching its first-ever AI Summit, set for June 18, 2026 in San Francisco. The event will take place at The Commonwealth Club and feature a full day of interviews with prominent figures in artificial intelligence, followed by a rooftop wine reception.
OpenAI President Greg Brockman is scheduled to discuss the company's direction, its latest models, and the current state of the AI race. Perplexity CEO Aravind Srinivas will talk about the company's new Personal Computer super-agent and what lies ahead for agentic AI. Box CEO Aaron Levie will cover enterprise AI applications and breaking news in the space. Wired senior correspondent Lauren Goode will join as a co-interviewer. Additional speakers are expected to be announced.
Organizers are keeping the event intentionally small, capping attendance at 200 to 250 people. The summit is being positioned as an anti-tradeshow, focused on substantive conversations rather than vendor booths or sales pitches.
