🤖 Coding Agents Mini Conference

Company Booths · Live Demos · VC × Founder Panel · Happy Hour

⚡ Powered by AWS
🎤 Hosted by PopPopTech
🌉 Part of SF Tech Week

Join founders, developers, investors and AI infrastructure teams for an afternoon dedicated to the rapidly evolving world of coding agents.

The Coding Agents Mini Conference brings together companies building AI coding agents, AI IDEs, developer tools, search and retrieval infrastructure, and enterprise AI solutions.

Instead of a traditional conference built around back-to-back presentations, this event combines company booths, live product demos, founder conversations, investor perspectives and an open happy hour—giving attendees time to experience the products, meet the teams behind them and discuss where the coding-agent ecosystem is heading next.

✨ What to Expect

🏢 Coding Agent Company Booths

Meet teams building coding agents, AI IDEs, developer infrastructure and related AI products. Participating companies will have dedicated spaces to showcase their products, answer questions and connect with potential users, partners and investors.

💻 Live Product Demos

Selected teams will demonstrate real coding-agent workflows, product capabilities and practical use cases.

See how today’s tools are being used to write, understand, search, debug and maintain software—and where human judgment remains essential.

💰 VC × Founder Panel

After watching the demos, investors and founders will discuss:

• What makes a coding-agent company investable?

• Which parts of the stack can become durable businesses?

• How should founders differentiate in a crowded market?

• What do enterprise customers need before adopting coding agents?

• Where are the biggest opportunities across models, infrastructure, search, evaluation and developer experience?

The panel is intentionally scheduled after the product demos so investors can respond to what they have seen and continue those conversations directly with founders.

🤝 Founder and Builder Social

Meet founders, engineers, product leaders, investors and potential collaborators in a relaxed environment.

🥂 Happy Hour

Continue the conversations over drinks, meet the exhibiting teams and connect with people building and investing across the AI developer ecosystem.
