Hi SF IRL! There's a ton of vibrance and energy coming back into the city and at SF IRL, we are excited to be a part of it. Excited to come with you all with some great events for Issue #57.
Hope everyone had a great Fleet Week in SF!
I'm Jonathan, the creator of SF IRL. I've been a Bay Area resident all my life and just moved into San Francisco about 2 years ago. My full-time job is at Brex as an XIR where I meet founders and VCs while trying to create a community in the city. My vision for SF IRL is simple. Showcase the best tech + startup events in SF and to connect all of our builders and investors together. We are a growing community having over 4200+ subscribers. As we keep growing, if you enjoy reading these, please share this with your friends so we can hit 5,000 readers. As always, SF IRL is one of my many side projects. If you like to be involved in helping, please shoot me an email!

October 13th, 2023 - Humans in Digital Space
Location: San Francisco
Time: 5-7pm
What: If the spatial computing revolution means that digital environments will be everywhere, that means that everyone will - in some way - be in them, or at least be exposed to them. And we all know that the text-based internet has not been a complete success in terms of human progress, socially and psychologically.
So how do we do better with the spatial internet? Is this a matter of regulation? Or community engagement? Or an ethical revolution? Or something else entirely? Can we make digital environments and metaverses better - for all, for all time - than the default world, somehow? Or will that remove the potential for novelty, discovery, creativity?
This conversation, led by leaders in imagination, design, philosophy and governance of spatial environments and digital communities, explores the human frontier in the spatial computing age.
