SF Events: June 29–July 5
AIEWF side events dominate the early week, with AI infrastructure, demo nights, developer tooling, and founder socials clustered around Moscone and SoMa. The weekend shifts to July 4 planning: Golden Gate Bridge fireworks, Fillmore Jazz Festival, World Cup viewing, Stern Grove, and free museum/market options.
The week splits into two calendars. Monday through Thursday belongs to AI Engineer World's Fair side events: agent infrastructure, developer tooling, AI demos, and founder dinners stack up near Moscone and SoMa. 1 Saturday belongs to the Golden Gate Bridge fireworks, with traffic closures and viewing choices that need planning before sunset. 2
For the June 29–July 5 week, the best default strategy is simple: pick one serious AI event early in the week, protect Wednesday from overbooking, and treat July 4 as a logistics day rather than a last-minute night out.

Watch-outs before committing
- Kevin Weil at South Park Commons is not a Monday option. The original "-1 to Now with Kevin Weil" listing was marked rescheduling, and the Lu.ma page returned 404 in the research package. 126
- Wednesday evening is the conflict point. Neo4j, Together AI/NVIDIA, ClickHouse, Warp/Sequoia/Google DeepMind, Elastic/AWS, Vercel, and multiple socials overlap between 5:00 and 9:30 PM, while USA vs Bosnia & Herzegovina kicks off at 5:00 PM in Santa Clara. 9101117
- Outside-SF events need a commute decision. TechEquity's Building AI Ecosystem is in Menlo Park, Zen & AI is in Mountain View, and Bay Area Frontier Research Club is at Meta HQ in Menlo Park. 1
- July 4 fireworks viewing is not interchangeable. SF.gov says the Ferry Building and Embarcadero waterfront cannot see the Golden Gate Bridge show, and Ocean Beach has a poor angle. 2
