WorkOS to Host init(), an AI Conference, During San Francisco Tech Week

What changed

WorkOS is hosting init(), a one-day AI conference on October 7 at San Francisco’s SFJAZZ Center during SF Tech Week. The announced speakers include Evan Conrad, Aaron Levie, Howie Liu, swyx, Rita Kozlov and Claire Vo, with sessions focused on the decisions, trade-offs and lessons behind AI products they are building.

Why it matters

The event’s value will depend less on the speaker list than on whether those conversations get specific. “AI products” can mean anything from a working system to a polished demo; the useful questions are about the choices underneath: what teams built, what they gave up, and which lessons survived contact with real users.

For now, the event is an announcement, not evidence of product launches, attendance or commercial results. Its clearest promise is a concentrated look at how several technology leaders describe the practical work of turning AI ideas into products.
