## Vector Space Day 2026: Powered by Qdrant 

### About

We’re hosting our second-ever full-day in-person Vector Space Day (https://luma.com/vsd-sf) on June 11th at The Midway in San Francisco, and you’re invited.

Last year in Berlin we brought together 400+ engineers, researchers, and AI builders to explore the cutting edge of retrieval, vector search infrastructure, and agentic AI. And we’re excited to now bring that to San Francisco.

### Global Hackathon 


In the lead-up to Vector Space Day, we're hosting **Think Outside the Bot**, a global, virtual hackathon challenging devs to reimagine what's possible with vector search. Forget the classical RAG chatbot! Explore multi-modal applications, intelligent recommendations, and advanced vector search that go far beyond conversational interfaces.
