/ About this event

Join us on Tuesday, October 6 for a high-energy evening exploring what’s next in voice, conversational, and real-time AI.

In San Francisco’s Financial District, From Prototype to Production will bring together AI builders, engineers, founders, technology partners, and innovators for an evening of thought-provoking conversations, live demonstrations, and networking.

Through tech talks, panels, and hands-on demos, we’ll explore how the next generation of conversational AI is moving from experimentation to real-world impact. From intelligent voice agents and AI avatars to real-time translation, multimodal experiences, enterprise applications, and emerging AI-powered devices. See cutting-edge AI in action, hear directly from the teams building it, and connect with the people shaping how humans and technology will communicate in the years ahead.

The program will feature a panel and live demos from OpenAI, Autodesk, Bluejay, HammingAI, MiniMax, and thymia. This event is co-sponsored by RiseLink, thymia, and Forecastr.

Featured Panelists: - Ryan Nelson, GTM @ OpenAI - Anurag Patnaik, Head of AI Engineering @ Autodesk - Victor Ortiz, VP Product Marketing @ MiniMax - Faraz Siddiqi, CTO/Founder @ Blujay

This event is part of Agora’s global Convo AI World event series, spotlighting the technologies, builders, and ideas advancing real-time engagement and conversational AI.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
