AI Governance After Hours - San Francisco A Community Social

Hosted by AI Realized & AiGovOps Foundation

AI is shipping faster than governance can keep up. The frameworks exist. The execution doesn't. And the people working on closing that gap deserve a drink.

The AiGovOps Foundation & AI Realized are joining up to bring together practitioners, founders, investors, & enterprise leaders who believe responsible AI isn't a checkbox - it's an engineering discipline.

This is not a conference session. It's an informal social - a room full of people who care about AI governance, a couple of stories about what happens when it goes wrong, & the start of a West Coast community that plans to keep showing up.

What to expect
Doors open at 6:00 PM - grab a drink, meet people Around 6:30 PM - brief welcome remarks from the hosts on why this community exists & why it matters now A couple of real-world AI failure stories to spark conversation (the kind that make you laugh, then make you nervous) Open networking for the rest of the evening No slides. No panels. No pitch decks. Just the right people in the right room.

This is a no-host bar - everyone covers their own drinks. No ticket price, no cover. Just show up.

Who should attend
If you're building AI systems, investing in them, deploying them inside enterprises, or trying to figure out how to govern them - this is your crowd. CTOs, CIOs, AI/ML leads, compliance & risk leaders, founders, investors, & anyone who's ever lost sleep over what their AI is doing when nobody's watching.

CIOs

About the hosts
AI Realized is a community fostering responsible AI adoption in the enterprise. We bring leaders together through in person, virtual, & hybrid events. We showcase leaders & provide educational content through our substack & linkedin newsletters, podcast, & webinars.

AiGovOps Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit building a global practitioner community focused on operationalizing AI governance - shipping policy frameworks as executable, auditable code rather than PDF documents. Based in Seattle, this is our first San Francisco event.
