​Five thousand people will be at the Berkeley Agentic AI Summit 2026 talking about what agents can do. This is the room next door for the people who have to make these agents run at scale. The next wave of agents needs product builders and infrastructure builders in the same room. This evening brings together leaders across silicon, systems, cloud, frameworks, and enterprise agent teams to shape the stack agents will run on. This is not a product promotion event, and nothing is being sold here. Aramas is hosting because the conversation needs a host, not a sponsor. We sit at the center of these builds and are bringing that center of gravity together.

A keynote from Daniel Theobald (Founder of Vecna Robotics, Chairman of The Founders Guild) and founder panel on deep tech fundraising, SF burnout, and building for the long game.

The first wave of AI-bio was about discovery. What comes next? As AI capabilities become table stakes, the frontier is shifting — toward deployment, closed-loop systems, real-world data, and defensibility. Join Berkeley Gateway Accelerator, DiagnoBacs, and Bits in Bio for a sharp, debate-forward panel on what it actually takes to build enduring AI-native biology companies.

FireBreak is an ongoing event series hosted by the Berkeley Gateway Accelerator (BGA) and the Berkeley Institute for Security and Governance (BISG), defining how the East Bay’s academic, research, entrepreneurial, and policy communities can work together to advance wildfire innovation.

Quantum computing is coming fast, and BGA is bringing the East Bay Black community together on Saturday, September 12 to unpack what it means: from cybersecurity risks to new job, startup, and investing opportunities. Expect keynotes, panels, and breakout conversations with founders, investors, and researchers over breakfast
