The AI Conference 2026 in San Francisco

The 2026 edition of The AI Conference was held September 29-October 1, 2026 at Pier 48 in San Francisco, with 5,500+ attendees and 120+ speakers: founders, AI companies, investors, enterprise leaders, developers and media.

ERIA Marina is a private event venue at 2300 Chestnut Street in San Francisco's Marina District, built for the companies and groups hosting events around a conference. If you're looking for a corporate event venue near Pier 48 or an event venue near Mission Rock San Francisco, ERIA Marina is a different kind of setting: a private venue in the Marina District rather than another conference hall. Attendance numbers and dates above are for the 2026 edition; planning ahead for next year's edition works the same way.

Private events during The AI Conference

Side events are where much of the conference happens. ERIA Marina is a private event space for AI Conference side events: a private dinner, a reception, a customer gathering or a full company takeover, all on your guest list and your schedule.

Wondering where to host an AI conference after party in San Francisco, or what suits San Francisco AI Week events more broadly? Start with the guest count and the concept, and we'll work backward from your conference schedule.

AI Conference after-parties

A tech conference after party venue in SF should feel like a place people choose to go, not a room they are sent to. ERIA Marina works as a private AI conference after party venue in San Francisco: a cocktail party, a closing party or a late reception once the conference sessions end.

The venue has a full bar and lounge seating, and guest counts can range from a smaller private party to a larger standing event of up to 400 guests indoors.

Founder and investor dinners

A founder dinner, investor dinner or corporate dinner calls for a room where the conversation carries. Long banquet tables, candlelit dinner settings and a bar close by make ERIA Marina a private dinner venue for the smaller executive and founder gatherings that conference week produces.

Seated dinners can host up to 150 guests indoors, or up to 200 including outdoors.

Sponsor and customer receptions

Sponsors and exhibitors can extend the conversations from the show floor into a reception venue of their own. Host a sponsor event or a customer reception with your own branding, your own guest list and time to talk.

Our team can plan arrival, bar service and any short remarks or presentations around your run of show.

Networking events and happy hours

From a networking reception to a happy hour venue for your community, ERIA Marina gives guests room to move between conversations. Lounge seating, the bar and an open floor support a relaxed networking event rather than a formal program.

A short welcome or fireside moment fits in with the AV and microphones, then the room goes back to mingling.

Product launches and brand activations

Launch a product or stage a brand activation where your announcement is the evening. Screens, AV and presentation support let you present first, and the bar and lounge give guests a reason to stay afterward.

Share your concept early and our team will tell you what can be set up in the space.

Team dinners

Teams traveling in for the conference need somewhere to regroup. Host a team dinner or an evening for your distributed company at ERIA Marina, in a private room rather than a crowded restaurant.

It also suits a smaller team gathering: ERIA is not only for large parties.

Why ERIA Marina for an AI Conference event

ERIA Marina fits smaller executive and founder gatherings as readily as larger standing receptions, so the same venue works for an intimate dinner or a bigger company party.

The space offers indoor and outdoor configurations, a full bar, TVs and screens, microphones, flexible furniture and lounge areas, along with built-in AV and presentation support. It is a private venue that your team can shape around your own conference schedule.

Event formats and capacities

ERIA Marina holds up to 400 guests standing and 150 seated indoors, and up to 500 standing and 200 seated including outdoors.
