Event guide

Why this event is on the calendar

Actuate is Foxglove's annual developer conference for people building robots. The organizer has confirmed two days at Fort Mason in San Francisco, with a technical program positioned around autonomy and physical AI engineering.

The published speaker roster includes leaders from Wayve, Physical Intelligence, Aurora, NVIDIA, Google DeepMind, Shield AI, Zipline, and Dyna Robotics. That makes this a practitioner-facing room rather than a general technology expo; the current site does not yet publish a full session-by-session agenda.

Who gets value from it

Robotics software engineers, autonomy and perception teams, developer-tool buyers, and technical founders who want implementation-oriented conversations.

How the day tends to work

Full-access attendees are promised talks, auditorium seating, breakouts, the exhibit hall, meals, and hosted evening happy hours. Expo-only admission omits the talks and auditorium seating.
