Events at SPC
March at SPC was packed. We hosted a Minus One conversation with Elad Gil, fireside chats with Stephen Wolfram (Wolfram Research), Thomas Wolf (Hugging Face), and a Design Chat with Sam Stephenson, exploring how Granola approached their recent (and controversial) rebrand. We also hosted Dr. Fei-Fei Li (World Labs), who shared her perspectives on finding a north star and building with intentionality.
SF’s Demo Night showcased explorations from digital public squares to ambient intelligence. Across the globe, SPC India hosted its 2nd-ever Demo Faire in Bangalore—the room was packed for live demos!
