Ahead of Actuate Day 1, we're holding a relaxed pre-conference jog that loops from Fort Mason to Fisherman’s Wharf and back. Anyone attending, or any local robotics builders looking to stretch their legs on Tuesday morning, are welcome to join. We'll be putting on coffees and a light breakfast at Equator Coffees in Fort Mason straight after the run. If you’re in town for Actuate, building in robotics, working around autonomy, infrastructure, simulation, hardware, software, or just fancy meeting a few decent people before the day starts, come along. The plan We’ll meet outside Equator Coffees at Fort Mason from 6:30am, then head out together along the waterfront. The route will loop back around the Pier 45 / Boudin area before returning to Fort Mason. Afterwards you'll be able to grab coffee and a light breakfast on us at Equator Coffees before we head into the day.
