SFTech4Good Happy Hour: End of Day Networking and Cocktails

Thu, Oct 15, 12:00 AM

From SFTech4Good

4.5

It’s time! I’m still looking for sustainable work, so events are few and far between until I have a stable income again. With that said, let’s meet up for a drink. That’s easy and straightforward. People can catch up and network! * If you can’t make it but have ideas, write me. * If you want to build and host an event but can’t make it, write me. * If you want to have a drink, relax, and can make it, show up. My long-term goal is to bring back events at least quarterly. As always, they'll be focused on the intersection of social impact and tech. Going forward, anyone who wants to co-host or organize events through SFTech4Good will need to contribute financially toward the Meetup fee. I can no longer be the only person paying to keep the group alive while other people use it to host or promote events. Stay tuned for details!

On September 30, ProductTank SF is bringing together product people to share the AI workflows they **rely on every day**. Not prototypes, not polished demos, but the systems that are crucial to how they work. Each speaker will **show their workflow in action**, unpack **what makes it reliable**, and give you a **practical path to build on it yourself**. **KEY TAKEAWAYS** * **Real workflows** — tested systems speakers use in their day-to-day work * **Under the hood** — the context, tools, instructions, documentation, and human judgment that keep them running * **Build your own** — examples, resources, and a shared GitHub repo so you can experiment afterward **THE FORMAT** **Short talks → Audience Q&A** Each speaker gets **10–12 minutes** to show their workflow in action, followed by **10–15 minutes of audience Q&A** to dig deeper into the details. **THE SPEAKERS** **Jorge Alcántara**, CEO and Co-Founder of [Zentrik.ai,](http://zentrik.ai,/) will show how he combines Playwright, Storybook, and Codex to automate product video creation. **Albert Collell**, Senior AI Product Leader at Qurrent and product management instructor at Stanford, will show how an LLM-powered personal wiki turns meetings and interviews into a searchable second brain. **Tom Alterman**, Director of Product at GoodLeap and founder of [Tomek.io,](http://tomek.io,/) will show how he uses AI to take a product idea from concept to pull request. More speakers to be announced. *Attendance will be first-come, first-served. We will close doors once we reach capacity; arrive early to secure a spot.* *Special thanks to our generous sponsor:* * [Cribl](https://cribl.io/): Simplify how you route, transform, and reduce data with a central tier that provides choice, flexibility and control.
