(Stealth) AI Alignment Coalition
AI Alignment Coalition x TectoAI x The Catalyst Era x AI Alignment Liasion bring you...
The ONLY SF Tech Week dinner that will shape AI’s future in real time and you won’t find it on any stage or panel.
We’re gathering the most influential voices in AI, from startup founders, top VCs, and policy leaders, for an evening that flips the script on the typical Tech Week mixer.
This isn’t networking-as-usual.
We’ll throw out some questions for you all to consider and let the conversations unfold across lines that usually stay separate, from code to capital to compliance.
By the end of the night, you won’t just leave with new connections. You’ll leave with collaborations, bold ideas, and a tangible vision for what governance can mean for innovation.
Dinner & drinks provided. Location revealed upon registration and seats are going fast!

Breakfast Conversations: What Clinicians Want Tech to Know
SOMA
·
Reach Capital, Inflect Health
A breakfast conversation where healthcare's frontline meets innovation.
Clinician burnout has reached crisis levels, yet the gap between what providers need and what technology delivers continues to widen.
Reach Capital and Inflect Health invite you to an intimate morning dialogue with the physicians, health system leaders, and founders who are working to close this divide — one meaningful solution at a time.
This invite-only session brings together the people on the ground: clinical leaders navigating impossible caseloads, system operators redesigning broken workflows, and entrepreneurs building with deep empathy for provider pain points.
You'll hear honest perspectives on what actually works in clinical settings, the human factors that determine adoption, and how the best solutions earn clinician trust rather than just administrator approval.
Connect with the people building, buying, and backing healthcare's most clinician-focused innovations.

Flowith User Meetup: Go With the Flow
Join the Flowith community for an evening of sharing, inspiration, and hands-on demos. Flowith is a next-generation AI creation workspace built around a dynamic, canvas‑based interface—a visual space where ideas flow freely in multiple branches instead of being confined to linear chat threads.
At this meetup, Flowith users—from early adopters to curious enthusiasts—will showcase how they’ve utilized features like:
Flow Mode: an “infinite canvas” that allows simultaneous interaction with multiple AI models, editing nodes, branching discussions, and remixing outputs in real-time.
Oracle (Agent Neo): an autonomous agent designed to plan and execute complex multi-step tasks—automatically breaking down assignments, invoking tools, and refining outputs with minimal manual prompt engineering.
Knowledge Garden: an AI-powered knowledge base that transforms your uploaded documents, notes, and links into connected “Seeds”—improving retrieval accuracy and contextual relevance while reducing hallucinations.
Expect fast-paced lightning talks, spontaneous demos, and open discussions that reflect the flexible, “flowing” nature of how we co-create with AI—on a canvas, not a chat window.
