Vibe Coding Events in San Francisco

San Francisco is the operational heart of the vibe coding scene. Cursor, Anthropic, and Bolt all run their flagship dev events here, and the AI Tinkerers and GenAI SF community calendars push out a new hackathon, builder summit, or demo night nearly every week. If you build with AI tools and live in the Bay, this is the city where you can attend something serious every Tuesday and ship something live by Sunday. The events tagged below pull from Lu.ma's AI-SF and GenAI-SF community calendars, plus brand-feed events from the major AI tool teams headquartered in the city.
