PS/NExT — New Experiences in Technology — brings together residents, small business owners, students, educators, creators, and civic leaders with the people building the future of AI and emerging tech — to develop skills, solve real problems, and spark innovation across the region. Six tracks, two hands-on workshops, world-class headliners — one room where the next decade of the Valley starts taking shape.

Why come

World-class stage

Headliners from Disney animation, AI (leaders and alum from OpenAI, Meta, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon), the global creator community, and NYT-bestselling, Webby- and Emmy-recognized voices — sharing the room with local builders, civic leaders, and students.

Hands-on, not just heads-down

Live Vibe-a-thon where senior devs, business owners, and students leverage the latest AI tools to build solutions for regional problems. The GenJam music, image, and video creative sprint, screened on the big stage.
