Tech Meets Tide: How Arc is Electrifying the Maritime Industry
Join Mitch Lee and Ryan Cook, Co-Founders of Arc, for an exclusive LA Tech Week experience at Arc’s HQ.
The event kicks off with small-group, guided tours of Arc’s state-of-the-art factory floor, led personally by Mitch and Ryan. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how fully electric recreational boats and hybrid-electric commercial workboats are brought to life.
From there, we’ll gather for an intimate Founders Q&A — moderated by Captain of Culture, Miriam Morris — where Mitch and Ryan will share the realities of building a hardware startup, scaling innovation in a capital-intensive space, and what it takes to electrify an industry historically resistant to change.

data λ code unconference
Most data events are just people talking at you from a stage. We're doing something different.
This is practitioner-led:
no agenda until you make one,
no slide decks,
just data engineers and builders figuring stuff out together.
⚙️ How it works: ⚙️
1️⃣ We start in one room.
2️⃣ Everyone throws problems or ideas on sticky notes.
3️⃣ Vote on what's interesting.
4️⃣ Split into groups.
5️⃣ Discuss and share ideas.
6️⃣ Come back, share what we learned, then grab drinks.
The agenda is whatever the room brings.
💡 People have already mentioned:
- Getting CI/CD and testing into data work without everything grinding to a halt.
- What collaboration actually looks like when your whole team goes code-first?
- Balancing speed vs quality when your pipeline is your product.
- What does AI exactly mean for the future of our field?
🎯 Why this matters:
- Data teams are becoming more like engineering teams.
- Engineering teams are doing more data stuff.
- Nobody's figured out the best way to do this yet.
👤 Who should come:
Data engineers, analytics engineers, tech leads, and anyone building stuff at the intersection of code and data.
❓Why bother:
Because the conversations that actually help happen over whiteboards with people who've been in the same mess you're in right now.
Space is tight. RSVP or you're out of luck.
Drinks after with PostHog + Deskree + Recce → separate invite: https://partiful.com/e/zE0NqSFH0YxukzNF0XWd

Global AI Confessions...LIVE!
AI success doesn’t just depend on bold CEOs—it lives or dies in the hands of the data leaders making it real.
Join us for a conversation with Jed Dougherty, Head of AI Architecture at Dataiku, and Nik Spirin, Director, Generative AI and LLMOps Platform, NVIDIA.
Jed will reveal the findings from the “Global AI Confessions Report: Data Leaders Edition,” drawn from a global survey of 800+ data executives across the U.S., EMEA, and APAC.
Then, together, Jed and Nik will have a fireside chat: "From Confessions to Corrections: Fixing AI’s Toughest Performance Gaps.”
Expect unfiltered admissions on what’s really driving (or derailing) enterprise AI: performance gaps, hidden risks, and the uneasy truth about the trust, reliability, and explainability of AI agents.
These are the people on the front lines of AI execution, and their personal confessions are as surprising as they are urgent. From shadow AI and governance blind spots to what’s working at scale, the report uncovers where data leaders are prepared—and where they’re vulnerable. Plus, we’ll compare their confessions with the CEO Edition revealed earlier this year, exposing critical misalignment and disconnection at the top.
This is a must-attend SF Tech Week event for anyone who is responsible for the success of AI within their company. Join us for bold revelations, provocative comparisons, and sharp insights into the state of enterprise AI today—and the risks that could shape tomorrow.
Location will be shared when registration is approved.
