A two-day, invite-only conference this October in the nation’s capital.

We have the power to create an abundant future for humanity. But instead, we’ve clogged up every path to progress with red tape and vetocracy.

As humans with agency, we can build the future we want. But progress is neither inevitable nor one-dimensional. To realize that future—with abundant clean energy, inexpensive housing, human-centered artificial intelligence, and mastery of synthetic biology—we must simultaneously avoid complacency about our potential and fatalism about risks. We must identify and break through the bottlenecks that are holding us back.

The inaugural Bottlenecks Summit is an invitation-only unconference bringing together thinkers, builders, creators and policy entrepreneurs working to overcome bottlenecks to human progress and abundance. The event will take place on Friday, September 6, 2024 in San Francisco, California.

An invitation-only gathering bringing together founders, artists, policy entrepreneurs, and builders working to overcome the obstacles to an abundant future. 

Please join us at the Fort Mason Center for Arts & Culture in San Francisco, California as we host our 10th anniversary gala and annual conference, "Reboot: The New Reality."

Enjoy an evening of fun before the conference with a sumptuous plated dinner, themed cocktails, and fabulous dessert stations with friends of the foundation. Our 10-year anniversary gala is a celebration of the people and organizations that have helped us build tech and promote freedom.

Across media, politics, education, and global affairs, new technologies and players are laying waste to incumbents and making possible new enterprises and ways of building. Political pressure and popular opinion are moving from stagnation to revolution, from doom loop to boom loop.

This isn’t incremental improvement. It's reality transformation.

How will new media enterprises reshape political coalitions? Will defense startups unseat bloated legacy contractors? Can we bulldoze the obstacles to a brighter future? To achieve that future, America will need Silicon Valley, and Silicon Valley will need its window into Washington.

For 10 years, the Foundation for American Innovation has been a conduit between Silicon Valley builders and Washington policymakers, and we're just getting started.

Reboot: The New Reality is a full-day conference where we will hear from a variety of policy entrepreneurs, tech founders,

Please note: Tickets to each event may be purchased separately or as a bundle.
