TEDAI San Francisco 2025

21–22 October 2025 · San Francisco, U.S.A
Challenging the future of AI with bold ideas, fearless voices, and transformative conversations.

TEDAI San Francisco is a two-day conference curated by Sam & Walter De Brouwer in collaboration with TED, exploring the power and impact of artificial intelligence across society, culture, and technology.

Under the theme “Are We Bold Enough?”, the event challenges leaders, creators, and thinkers to confront how AI is reshaping industries and communities—and whether we are embracing its potential with courage and imagination.

Beyond the stage, TEDAI is equally about connection, conversation, and community—where ideas evolve in hallways, after-parties, and shared moments.
