01 · Round three
You asked. We listened.
So we're doing it again.
FDE Conference I and II filled up within a week, bringing together hundreds of FDEs, founders, and operators building at the forefront of AI. Now we're back for round three.
Join us in San Francisco on October 1st from 1–7 PM for a day dedicated entirely to the people building, leading, and scaling forward deployed teams.
Expect candid fireside chats, tactical breakout sessions, small-group conversations, and a dedicated FDE Hiring Fair + Company Showcase bringing together companies building forward deployed teams and people looking for their next role.
More than anything, this is a chance to meet other people building in a function that is still being defined in real time.

Whether you're actively looking for a new role, curious about which companies are hiring, or building an FDE organization yourself, you'll have dedicated time to meet companies and candidates in person.
