The TechBeat Conference held on Aug 21st has concluded successfully, reinforcing its place as one of the East Bay’s and the bay area’s leading platforms for technology and innovation.
The conference has become more than just a platform, it is a movement aimed at connecting fresh-out-of-college entrepreneurs with seasoned executives, bridging youthful ideas with real-world expertise. This mission has given TechBeat a unique identity, setting it apart from conventional conferences.
This year’s program featured keynote addresses from prominent executives Dr. Uli Chettipally, Satish Ramakrishnan, Dr. Gini Graham Scott and Vice Mayor of San Ramon Sridhar Verose, followed by engaging sessions on AI, cybersecurity, robotics, systems integration, generative AI, and the future of hiring. In his opening remarks, founder Sunny Menon emphasized how TechBeat has grown into a catalyst for opportunity and collaboration for young innovators. He shared the story of Kacie Woody and the tragic online deception that led to a crime. It was a powerful reminder that our youth need safe spaces to grow, learn, and be guided. TechBeat stands as that platform, inspired by Kacie Woody’s story.
A key highlight of 2025 was the integration of AI Agents, showcasing practical innovation in action. One AI Agent managed thousands of incoming calls, assisting attendees with registration and event details, while another guided participants through the daily program. This partnership, supported by StaffAgent.AI, demonstrated how AI can transform real-time event engagement.
The conference also welcomed Blue Arma, a cybersecurity company that joined as a behind-the-scenes sponsor for food and beverages. Despite a slightly smaller turnout compared to 2024, the event drew a highly knowledgeable and enthusiastic crowd, many of whom stayed engaged even after the official sessions had ended. What truly matters is building meaningful connections with productive and engaged attendees, rather than with thousands who add little value. I value quality over quantity, and time reflects that,” said Arvind Ramasamy, Co-Founder of StaffAgent.ai and an exhibitor at the conference
While there were some last-minute changes due to unforeseen reasons, the ambience, quality of discussions, and depth of participation set a high bar. Attendees described the experience as unique, fresh, and inspiring for the East Bay and broader Bay Area.
TechBeat 2025 closed on a high note with a warm expression of gratitude to all speakers, partners, and attendees. The commitment of its organizing committee and the energy of participants continue to establish TechBeat not just as a conference, but as a movement driving innovation in the East Bay and Bay Area.
