Sarbat Conference
About this event
A two-day Seattle conference for Sikh technologists, entrepreneurs, students and social-impact leaders examining where AI is heading, capped with a nonprofit-focused AI tools hackathon.
Sarbat is a Seattle conference for Sikh technologists, entrepreneurs, social activists and students who want to examine both the direction of AI and its social consequences. The two-day program brings community discussion together with sessions for people building at the technology frontier.
The conference includes the Sarbat Hackathon, where participants have 24 hours to develop AI tools alongside local nonprofits and the people who run them. The published program also lists speakers from Character.AI, Lotus AI, Agentic Studios and Juno Industries. It is a distinctive community-led option for practitioners who want AI discussion grounded in social responsibility and concrete impact.
Sarbat runs October 16 through 17 in Seattle. The precise venue has not been published. Tickets are currently sold out, but the official Luma page accepts waitlist registration until the organizer closes registration, so prospective attendees should join it and watch for openings.
