SF Bay Area Events: Mon Evening + All of Tuesday, June 2
Snowflake Summit Day 1 wraps up Monday evening with four active side events (High Tide reopened from sold-out; MCP Connect now full/waitlist). Tuesday runs the week's densest evening: MS Build opens at Fort Mason and five sponsor events spread across SF (Elastic, Cerebras WSE-3 demo, Anyscale, Intel, Qualcomm), alongside IDEO's robotics design talk (206 going, SF Design Week anchor) and fal's 3D GenMedia demo. First Tuesday free museums at de Young, Legion of Honor, and Conservatory fill the daytime.
Monday evening wraps up Snowflake Summit Day 1 with four active side events — one of them just flipped from sold-out back to open. Tuesday is the denser day: MS Build opens at Fort Mason (Satya Nadella keynote 8 AM), and five official sponsor evening events fan out across SF. Add IDEO's robotics design talk and a fal 3D generative media demo, and Tuesday evening has more options than most Thursdays this month.
Coverage: Monday June 1, 5 PM onward — Tuesday June 2, 2026, full day.
