Hey SF Social Club, Happy Sunday!

I’ve curated a list of over a dozen fantastic events happening in San Francisco this week.

SF Social Club is brought to you by Matt Taksa (Cofounder & CEO at Nextdev Labs). Since late 2022, I’ve hosted over 100 tech events in San Francisco and built a community of 10,000+ people along the way. Why? Because I’ve seen firsthand that the city feels most alive when founders, engineers, and dreamers come together in person.

Your prompts are leaving out 80% of what you're thinking.

When you type a prompt, you summarize. When you speak one, you explain. Wispr Flow captures your full reasoning — constraints, edge cases, examples, tone — and turns it into clean, structured text you paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or any AI tool. The difference shows up immediately. More context in, fewer follow-ups out.

89% of messages sent with zero edits. Used by teams at OpenAI, Vercel, and Clay. Try Wispr Flow free — works on Mac, Windows, and iPhone.

Time: 5:30pm - 8pm

Hosted by Vercel in San Francisco

Meet Jimmy Lai, Head of Next.js, alongside Vercel team members for an inside look at what's new in Next.js for the age of AI and Agents.

​​We're taking over a cafe in North Beach and inviting Cursor users to swing by.

Jun 10th, 2026 - The Verification Summit

Time: 4pm - 9pm

Hosted by Pramaana Labs in San Francisco

​AI has crossed a threshold where its outputs influence decisions in law, science, software, finance, and policy. But the foundation underneath is still probabilistic — a model that's right most of the time, with no way to know which time is which. ​Verification is how that changes.

Jun 10th, 2026 - Building in the AI Era

Time: 5:30pm - 7:30pm

Hosted by Sierra AI in San Francisco

​AI is changing the skills required to build great products. It's not about tokenmaxxing coding agents — it's about reorienting the work toward outcomes that matter. The best operators, regardless of title, can understand customer feedback, build a solution, and ensure it's adopted at scale.

Jun 10th, 2026 - AI monetization salon

Time: 6pm - 8pm

Hosted by Stripe Startups in San Francisco

​The AI companies pulling ahead aren’t just building faster. They’re making smarter decisions about how to charge, package, and grow.

​You’ll hear directly from Stripe’s leaders and special guests from Cursor and a16z about what’s working, what isn’t, and the realities of monetizing AI products today.

Time: 9:30am - 7pm

Hosted by ClickHouse in San Francisco

​One full day. Real tools. Real prizes. ClickHouse and Hex are hosting an in-person AI hackathon where you build something using ClickHouse and Hex solo or in a team of up to 5.

Partner engineers will be on-site all day at the expert bar to help you move fast. Breakfast, lunch, drinks, and great company in the mix. We'll end the night with demos, judging, and dinner.

​Come and join the Artificial Analysis team for an evening of talks and discussions with the team and special guests from Cursor, Cognition, and Kernel Labs, digging into coding agent benchmarks. The room will be full of researchers, agent builders, and AI engineers, and plenty of time to argue over food and drinks.

Time: 9:30am - 7:30pm

Hosted by tokens& in San Francisco

​The 30 best builders of the bay take to the water to hack and present your demos. First place gets $50K credits and a DGX Spark.
