Data + AI Summit is the annual conference for the global data and artificial intelligence community, held across Moscone North, West, and South in San Francisco, California. The 2027 edition runs from 21 to 24 June and is offered both in person and virtually. The event draws thousands of practitioners, engineers, data scientists, and technical leaders from more than a hundred and sixty countries, with a programme exceeding eight hundred sessions. Content spans data engineering and pipeline design, warehousing and lakehouse architecture, data governance and lineage, analytics, and the design and operation of AI agents and applications. Alongside conference talks the summit carries hands-on training, certification opportunities, and an expo floor covering the wider data tooling ecosystem, much of it built on open source projects. Keynotes from industry executives set out platform direction for the year ahead. For engineers building modern data and machine learning infrastructure, this data engineering summit is among the largest and most technically substantial events of its kind.
Data + AI Summit 2027 takes place June 21–24, 2027 in San Francisco, United States.
Data + AI Summit 2027 is a hybrid event — you can attend on-site or join remotely.

Data and AI Summit occupies all three Moscone halls in SoMa, the warehouse-turned-tech district south of Market Street. Late June in San Francisco surprises first-time visitors: the marine layer keeps afternoons around seventeen degrees Celsius and often overcast, colder than almost anywhere else attendees flew in from. The upside is a conference district where thousands of hotel rooms, restaurants, and the company offices behind the tooling all sit within a fifteen-minute walk.
San Francisco International (SFO) is the closest gateway, about twenty kilometres south, with BART reaching Powell Street station in roughly thirty minutes for a few dollars. Oakland (OAK) and San Jose (SJC) are workable alternatives, adding a bay crossing or an hour of driving respectively. From Powell or Montgomery station Moscone is a short walk; rideshare from SFO runs forty to sixty minutes in weekday traffic.

Coverage across downtown San Francisco is strong on all major carriers and Moscone's own network is built for conference-scale load. International attendees will still find a prepaid eSIM cheaper and simpler than activating carrier roaming for a week. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
SFMOMA. Two blocks from Moscone on Third Street, with one of the largest modern collections in the United States spread over seven floors. The free-to-enter ground level and the outdoor living wall on floor three make it viable even in a lunch break. A serious visit needs three hours; the photography floors alone justify a shorter one.

The Ferry Building and Embarcadero. A restored 1898 terminal on the waterfront, now a food hall of regional producers, fifteen minutes on foot from the venue. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday farmers markets spill onto the plaza. Walking north along the Embarcadero afterwards gives clear bay views and a break from the SoMa street grid.
Golden Gate Park. Larger than New York's Central Park and reachable by Muni in about half an hour from downtown. The eastern end holds the botanical garden, the de Young museum, and the Academy of Sciences within a short radius. Fog is heaviest here in June, so treat it as a morning rather than sunset destination. Tickets on Go City →
Mission District murals. A twenty-minute BART ride to 24th Street opens onto Balmy Alley and Clarion Alley, decades of dense political mural work. The Mission also sits in the city's reliable sun pocket, often ten degrees warmer than SoMa. Combine the walk with dinner; the neighbourhood carries the best casual food in the city.
What is the fastest route from SFO to Moscone?
BART from the SFO station to Powell Street or Montgomery Street takes about thirty minutes, then five to ten minutes on foot. It is usually faster than rideshare during weekday traffic.
How cold does it actually get in June?
Daytime highs hover around sixteen to eighteen degrees Celsius with persistent afternoon fog and wind off the Pacific. Pack a proper jacket, not a summer one.
Is a rental car useful?
Not for the conference. Downtown parking is expensive, traffic is heavy, and BART plus Muni covers the city. Rent only if adding a trip to Napa, Marin, or the coast.
