Menlo Park.\n\nCome for the show.\n\nStay for the conversation.\n\nAnd if you’re joining us for dinner\, come ready with a great question.\n\nBrian Mac Mahon\nRegister for The Hitchhiker’s Guide to Silicon Valley⁠\nhttps://luma.com/GuidetoSV\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[/vc_column_text][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][/vc_column][/vc_row]

Whether you’re building in AI\, investing in it\, or just trying to make sense of the hype\, this is the conversation to be in.
