/ About this event

Being a founder is a gamble. Might as well play a few hands.

Join MongoDB, Google Cloud, Emergent & Mastra for an intimate night of poker, drinks, and high-signal conversations at the iconic Julia Morgan Ballroom.

We're bringing together a curated group of AI founders, technical builders, startup operators, engineers, and friends of the ecosystem for a night away from the usual conference room. Two poker tables, blackjack, and roulette, plus an open beer and wine bar all night. Expect good cards, good drinks, and even better company.

No Buy-In, No Real Money This is a free-to-play night. Every player starts with 500 chips, and there is nothing to buy in. The more chips you build up at the tables, the more raffle tickets you collect, and the better your odds of winning the prizes below.
