Why host a Side Event?
TC Sessions: AI is where industry-shaping conversations happen and where future-defining deals begin. By hosting a Side Event, your brand doesn’t just show up — it stands out. You’ll align yourself with the most respected names in AI while gaining direct access to an astute audience eager for fresh insights, meaningful partnerships, and bold ideas.
Space is limited, and visibility is high. If you’re ready to lead, this is your time.

- Events must run between June 1 and 7.
- Anything on June 5 should start after 5:00 p.m. PT.
- All attendees must be 18+ (or 21+ if serving drinks).
- Events must be in or around Berkeley.
