When we hosted our first meetup in San Francisco last spring, we had no idea how many people would show up. So we booked the back room of a small pub in Hayes Valley.

It was packed.

Dozens of meetups, hackathons, and parties later, it's time for a slightly bigger room 🙂

On Tuesday November 10, we're hosting Run by Apify, our first flagship conference in San Francisco, at The Pearl SF - a beautiful former boiler factory in Dogpatch.

We’re bringing together the @Apify team, customers, Actor creators, and friends from Temporal, OpenAI, Stripe, WorkOS, and other companies for a single-track day of talks and live demos on how to put the web to work. We’ll get into how AI agents find useful data, discover tools, pay for them, and actually get things done.

We’re keeping it to 300 people, with plenty of time for proper conversations. And of course, we’ll finish with a rooftop afterparty 🌇🎵

Come join us! Details and tickets below.

See you in two weeks!

Yesterday's #RunByApify was a blast!

Almost 200 people joined us for @Apify's first flagship conference in San Francisco.

I loved the talks, but what I enjoyed most were the dozens of conversations I had throughout the day. I honestly didn't expect just how much love people have for our platform and how much value they're getting from the open web with Apify.

Another thing that stuck with me was how many people praised the Apify team on the ground. Of course, I already knew Apifiers are amazing, but hearing it from so many people, and seeing what they pulled off, made me genuinely proud of this team.

Big thanks to everyone who joined us, spoke, helped make it happen, or simply brought positive energy. And special thanks to Myrsini, Kevin, Michelle, and Pavla for making it all happen. Once we've recovered, we'll start planning the next edition (don't shoot me guys 😅).

PS: Somewhat predictably, for the conference after-party we ended up at Tupelo, the best karaoke in North Beach, exporting a little bit of our Bohemian culture from Prague to San Francisco. 🎤🍺

I’m back to San Francisco for Run! (and here also for a run)

Come join us on Tuesday, last few spots left.
