Part career fair, part town hall, part celebration.
This AI safety convention is for everyone concerned about our AI-related future. Technical expertise is welcome but not required.
Take a break from doomscrolling to join a gathering of thinkers & doers for two days of thoughtful speakers, a massive AI safety career fair, unconference-style open discourse, celebrations and exhibitions, and one hoopla of an after-party.
Get up to speed on AI safety. Learn what you can do to help. Raise a glass to our incredible community.

FAQ
When is The Big Tent?
November 20 and 21, 2026.
Where is it?
We'll be taking over 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.
