ICP Roadshow San Francisco


San Francisco is an epicenter for technology and venture capital, making it the perfect place for the Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) to establish its stronghold. With access to top talent, investors, and a thriving Web3 ecosystem, the city offers strategic advantages for ICP’s expansion.
The ICP Roadshow San Francisco (February 10–15, 2025) brought together builders, founders, and industry leaders for a week of groundbreaking discussions, hands-on workshops, and high-impact networking.
From deep dives into AI-powered blockchain applications to insightful panels on decentralized computing, the event reinforced ICP’s commitment to driving Web3 growth from the heart of the tech world. Here’s a recap from the week:
Monday – Day 1

The week started with a VC Dinner hosted by Dominic Williams, ICP Founder and Chief Scientist at DFINITY foundation. The dinner provided for strategic networking and collective enthusiasm for the future of Web3 and ICP.
Key Takeaways from the Evening
- AI Integration – Discussed how artificial intelligence is augmenting decentralized applications.
- Chain Key & Abstraction Technologies – The future of blockchain scalability and interoperability.
- Cloud Computing & Security Innovations – Revolutionizing security and efficiency in decentralized cloud computing.
Tuesday – Day 2

The Berkeley event, themed ‘Exploring the Future of Blockchain & AI’ was filled with insights, and impactful discussions to discover advancements in blockchain, decentralized computing, and AI with the DFINITY Foundation.
Key Takeaways from the Event
- Jan Camenisch (CTO, DFINITY Foundation) discussed privacy and security in decentralized systems.
- Pierre Samaties (CBO, DFINITY Foundation) explored the intersection of blockchain, AI, and Web3 innovation.
- Panel Discussion on AI & Decentralized AI (DeAI) saw industry experts discuss the future of AI-driven blockchain applications.
- The Networking session brought together builders, investors, and researchers, encouraging collaboration.
Wednesday – Day 3

Jan Camenisch, CTO at DFINITY, led an insightful “Internet Computer Protocol Workshop” at Stanford University, hosted by the Stanford Blockchain Club. Held at the William R. Hewlett Teaching Center, the workshop brought together blockchain enthusiasts, researchers, and industry professionals to explore the technical aspects of the Internet Computer Protocol. With engaging discussions and hands-on learning, the event provided a deep dive into decentralized computing and its role in shaping the future of blockchain and AI.
That evening, the DFINITY Community Happy Hour in San Francisco celebrated the opening of DFINITY’s new office.
Key Takeaways from the Event
- Participants met the DFINITY team and other Web3 community members for refreshments and snacks.
- Discussions focused on decentralized computing and Internet Computer, which emphasized its ability to create completely on-chain Web3 applications.
- The event solidified DFINITY’s vision for a decentralized internet, gathering builders, investors, and industry leaders.
Thursday – Day 4

Founders, developers, investors, and Web3 enthusiasts gathered for a night of insights, networking, and discussions. It was the second monthly ICP meetup at the House of Web3.
Key Takeaways from the Event
- Keynote: The DFINITY Foundation discussed how the Internet Computer is revolutionizing decentralized computing and AI.
- Discussions:
- Experts revealed their views on the future regulatory framework for the crypto sector.
- Panel on how AI agents are redefining industries and shaping investment approaches.
