Who’s behind this
About SF7.AI
A monthly editorial pick of seven AI events worth showing up to in the Bay Area. Not a directory. Not an algorithm. One human, one question, seven answers.
01 • The premise
There are too many AI events in SF.
Every week, dozens of meetups, demos, panels, and hackathons. Most of them are fine. Some of them are great. A handful are unmissable. The problem is figuring out which is which without burning every Tuesday night to find out.
02 • The filter
One question, every event.
We pick seven each month using a single test: is this actually worth showing up to?Not “does it have a big name speaker.” Not “is the venue cool.” Worth showing up to. That means real signal in the talks, real people in the room, real shot at a conversation that goes somewhere after the wine runs out.
03 • The bonus
You see who’s going before you go.
Most networking is a slot machine. You show up, you grab a slice, you hope. SF7 changes the odds a little: every event has an attendee list with names and what they’re working on. You can DM someone before the doors open instead of swinging on hope.
04 • The non-rules
What we’ll never do.
- no Paid placements. Ever.
- no Affiliate tickets, kickbacks, or referral fees.
- no Algorithm-driven recommendations.
- no Filler picks just to hit seven.
