Over the past year, the cutting-edge tech fields we've been following have made incredible breakthroughs: AI, robotics, autonomous driving, brain-computer interfaces, life sciences, Web3... We're thrilled to have accompanied you through our in-depth videos & podcast content, & your support continues to fuel our passion for creating better content.
We're excited to invite you to join us on October 5th for Alignment 2025 | Valley101 Annual Tech Summit! As a content team, our summit isn't just about tech leaders sharing insights - it's a gathering filled with substance, stories, & surprises at the forefront of innovation.
Last year, we sold out all tickets early. Therefore, this year we've expanded with a larger scale, more interesting topics, & a stronger lineup of speakers. We're also introducing a new segment: our Global Startup Challenge, where six teams selected from hundreds of global applicants will compete in the finals for a chance to pitch to top Silicon Valley VCs & receive on-the-spot investment.

Conference Agenda
1) San Francisco Consensus: How Close Are We to AGI?
Nearly 3 years after ChatGPT's release, some Silicon Valley tech leaders have reached the so-called "San Francisco Consensus": AI will completely transform everything within 3-6 years. Is this accurate prediction or excessive optimism? As Silicon Valley conservatives believe LLM scaling laws have hit a wall, where should AI research go next?
2) The AI Agent Battle
In OpenAI's five stages of AGI (Chatbot AI, Reasoner AI, Agent AI, Innovator AI, Organization AI), we're still trying to break through the third stage in 2025, making AI Agents the most crucial battleground. We've invited several of the most popular Agent startups to discuss opportunities, challenges, market potential, & next steps for AI Agents.
3) AI's Dreams: Multimodal Explosion
2025 is undoubtedly the year of multimodal capability explosion: from Genie 3 to Nano Banana, these stunning voice & video model releases show us how intense market competition has become. In this session, we'll explore the capability evolution & boundaries of AI multimodal with scientists & entrepreneurs.
4) The Divided Robotics Track
Robotics is a fascinating sector: many Silicon Valley investors are skeptical about embodied intelligence, while Asian markets are developing rapidly. Where is this cognitive gap? Why are the two camps' views so divided? We'll comprehensively analyze robotics technology progress & entrepreneurial trends from "brain," "hardware," & "data" perspectives.
5) Healthcare, Science & AI
Science is undoubtedly a key direction for AI application: drug discovery, brain-computer interfaces, gene editing, & other frontier fields are all accelerating due to AI's arrival. We're honored to invite the most authoritative professors & scientists in these fields to deeply analyze the future of AI & health.
6) AI & Future Education
With AI here, do we still need schools? How do we cultivate the next generation that best uses AI? We'll discuss the AI-disrupted future of education with Esther Wojcicki, known as the "Mother of Silicon Valley Education," & other education researchers.
7) Venture Capital vs. Hedge Fund
In the AI era, are VCs or hedge funds seeing bigger opportunities? Primary vs. secondary markets - will these two markets with completely different investment philosophies, methodologies, & concepts have similarities in their AI-wave investment frameworks? We expect a real-time debate between two top investors - absolutely exciting.
8) AI x Crypto: Exploring New Finance "Gameplay"
An in-depth forum session around "AI Crypto," exploring wealth creation directions in the wave & insights into innovation patterns under new financial trends. From decentralized AI model computing coordination & incentive design to payment networks that reshape value flow - how do capital & cognition drive Web3's next cycle?
9) Global Startup Challenge
Compared to last year's summit, we're hosting our first Global Startup Challenge this year. As a core conference segment, the challenge provides an excellent global stage for outstanding startup teams to pitch to top investment institutions like Founders Fund partners & thousands of audience members in Silicon Valley, with winning teams receiving on-the-spot investment interest.
