The 8th Cerebral Valley AI Summit will take place in San Francisco on Thursday, Nov. 12, featuring speakers Dario Amodei (CEO of Anthropic), Ali Ghodsi (Databricks), and Nikesh Arora (CEO of Palo Alto Networks). When an Amodei first spoke at the summit in 2023, Anthropic was valued at about $5 billion; by 2024, the company was a nearly trillion-dollar juggernaut. The first summit was held in Weekend's loft office in Hayes Valley. Ghodsi previously bought a unicorn startup out of the first event, after a $1.3B acquisition that started at that summit. The most recent San Francisco summit was attended by 350+ of the top AI founders and investors.
