Three ways a team can show up at SaaStr Annual: a FORKOFF activation, a DIY booth bought through a sponsor package, or a traditional PR firm on retainer.

Frequently asked questions
What is SaaStr Annual, and when is the 2027 edition?
SaaStr Annual is the world's largest B2B SaaS founder + GTM conference, anchored at the San Mateo County Event Center in the San Francisco Bay Area. The 2026 edition ran May 11 to 12, 2027 as SaaStr AI Annual with 12,500+ founders, executives, and VCs across three days of content, networking, and AI-focused programming, plus 70+ side events organized by Pavilion CMO summit members, RevGenius operators, and SaaStr Fund-adjacent investors. The 2027 edition is expected back in the Bay Area in May 2027; exact dates have not yet been published by the organizer, so this page tracks the 2027 activation and updates the moment SaaStr confirms. The room is the highest-density gathering of B2B SaaS founders pre and post Series A, GTM operators, and AI-native B2B SaaS teams in the world.
Why hire FORKOFF for SaaStr Annual activations?
Most teams pay for a San Mateo booth and hope the right Series A founder walks past. The FORKOFF activation is a 14-day operating cycle: pre-event narrative + 30-account B2B SaaS founder intro engineering, on-site cadence + Tour de SaaStr Bay Area dinner + KOL placement, post-event clip cascade + qualified-pipeline record. Same operator, same dashboard, audit-tracked outcomes. Specifically tuned for B2B SaaS founders pre and post Series A, GTM operators, and AI-native B2B SaaS teams shipping into the founder community of 100M to 1B-ARR-bound SaaS companies.
How much does a SaaStr activation cost?
Three tiers: Lite tier (single-track pre-event founder narrative or on-site Bay Area dinner or side-event slot), Standard tier (recommended, full week-of presence), Full tier (sponsor-grade with side events + Pavilion CMO summit adjacency + GTM operator roundtable production). All tiers carry the verified record + qualified-pipeline reporting. Reference point: a San Mateo booth fee runs at standard sponsor rates plus AV and staff costs.
Do you produce side events at SaaStr Annual?
Yes. Standard + Full tiers include FORKOFF-produced side events at Bay Area venues (Tour de SaaStr dinner, GTM operator roundtable, Pavilion CMO summit panel, founder talk format). We handle venue, invite list, KOL outreach, and on-site recording. Side events are the highest-leverage on-site moment. 30 right Series A founders in one Bay Area-side room beats 12,000 random attendees at San Mateo main hall.
How does FORKOFF work with the Pavilion CMO summit and SaaStr AI track?
Our Full tier includes a Pavilion CMO summit adjacency layer for CMO partnership conversations and SaaStr AI track integration. We coordinate with the founder's Pavilion membership before any pre-event narrative goes live, route 30-account intros across CMOs and demand-gen heads who attend the Pavilion summit, and structure side events so SaaStr AI track speakers can participate in pipeline-acceleration conversations. Critical for AI-native B2B SaaS founders who treat the SaaStr AI track as the budget-anchor moment for founder community partnership decisions.
How does the post-event clip cadence work?
Every podcast recorded on-site feeds the clipping pipeline at clips.forkoff.xyz. One 60-minute recording produces 8-12 cross-platform clips (X / TikTok / Reels / Shorts), distributed over the 30 days following SaaStr. Each clip is tracked in the qualified-view record and reported in the T+30 audit close. The post-event cadence is what compounds the week's investment. For SaaStr specifically, the B2B SaaS Twitter cluster (Pavilion CMO members + RevOps voices + Series A founder community) keeps the residual attention curve elevated.
Can FORKOFF run activations at events outside SaaStr Annual?
Yes. SaaStr Annual is one of 12 plus events on the FORKOFF event roster. HubSpot Inbound, Dreamforce, Microsoft Ignite, AWS re:Invent, RSA Conference, DEF CON, NeurIPS, Google Cloud Next. Each event has its own activation page with cadence + tier pricing tuned to the event format and ICP. B2B SaaS founder, GTM operator, and AI-native SaaS ICPs map cleanly across events; see /for/saas-companies and /for/ai-startups for ICP-side detail.

Why this SaaStr playbook comes from real reps
The activation record behind this page
FORKOFF has run activations across 42 events since 2023 and served 150+ brands, per our own operating record, at events including Korea Blockchain Week, ETHDenver, and Token2049. Each activation was a curated gathering or side event sized between 100 and 250 people, built around a pre-event narrative, an on-site cadence, and a post-event compounding motion. SaaStr Annual gathers SaaS founders, operators, and the investors who back them in the SF Bay Area every year, so the plan on this page is drawn from the reps we have actually logged in founder-and-VC rooms, not from a booth on the expo floor.
A founder-and-investor room runs on warm intros
SaaStr is where SaaS founders compare notes and investors take meetings, and almost nothing of value there happens at a booth. Across our 42-event history the founders who got real outcomes ran a curated dinner, a peer operator session, a focused investor breakfast, and let the introductions compound from there. A 100 to 250 person format aimed at the specific founders, operators, and funds that matter to you beats a badge scan, because this audience trades access based on who convened the room worth being in.
Where the 42-event record changes the plan
Because we have run the pre-event to post-event loop dozens of times across 150+ brands, a SaaStr engagement does not start from a blank page. We know when to open the narrative, which convening format a founder-and-investor audience shows up for, and how to keep the intros compounding after the event closes. The full method is on the event management service page, every activation window lives on the events hub, and a SaaS team also weighing an ecosystem-wide play should read the Dreamforce breakdown.
