Overview
Builder's Day is a one day AI developer conference hosted in San Francisco that brings together engineers, founders, product leaders, and operators who are actively shipping AI in production. The event focuses on practical, real world experiences from people running AI and agents in production today, rather than speculative talks. The day is designed as a single track to ensure every attendee hears the same 12 talks on one stage, facilitating shared conversations in the hallways and at meals. The venue is SPIN San Francisco, located at 690 Folsom St #100, San Francisco, CA 94107. The event is organized by Prisma, with speakers drawn from industry practitioners and startups building AI powered products and infrastructure.
