San Francisco is officially booked. 🇺🇸
I’ve been selected to attend OpenAI DevDay 2026 on the 29th off September, so flights and hotel are now sorted and I’m heading to San Francisco for the first time.
The event is being held at Fort Mason and will include technical sessions, hands-on demos and time with the OpenAI teams building the models and tools we’re all starting to use.
One thing I’m particularly interested in is OpenAIs progress towards more autonomous AI.
They have previously talked about a target of reaching an automated AI research intern around September 2026.
DevDay happens on September the 29th.
There is no confirmation they’ll unveil anything like that, but the timing makes it something worth watching.
For me, the trip is really about finding out what this technology can genuinely do for businesses.
Less hype
More useful systems
Better automation
Better software
And hopefully plenty of ideas I can bring back and put to work through Media Nerds.
First trip to San Francisco as well, so I’m looking forward to seeing a bit of the city while I’m there.
