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.

How can I volunteer?
