For anyone concerned about our AI-related future who wants to do something about it. No technical background required.

FAQ
When is The Big Tent?
November 20 and 21, 2026.
Where is it?
We'll be taking over all three floors of Mox, a research-focused incubator & community space for doers of good and masters of craft located in the SoMa district of San Francisco.
Do I need an AI safety background?
No. We welcome industry professionals and newcomers alike. Bring a curious mind.
What is the difference between a one-day and a two-day ticket?
A two-day ticket covers both Friday and Saturday. A one-day ticket covers whichever single day you choose to attend.
What is your refund policy?
Unfortunately tickets are non-refundable.
Is financial or travel assistance available?
Ticket prices are already heavily subsidized and sit well below what it costs us to run the weekend. Consider applying for a BlueDot rapid grant for additional financial assistance, including travel.
Can I bring my kids?
Children are welcome. Onsite childcare may be available depending on demand.
