Community Impact

People didn't just attend. They switched.

Based on informal in-person surveys by co-organizer Jay Yao:

~50%
switched their primary model to Gemini from Anthropic or OpenAI
~25%
subscribed to Gemini Advanced after attending

This is organic competitive displacement that no marketing budget can replicate.

Thank You

Built by the community,
for the community.
