TL;DR There are no dedicated IT or developer conferences within 30 km of SingleThread. The nearest real developer conference—North Bay Python—runs once a year in April at ~45 km (Petaluma, outside the radius). If you’re planning a Healdsburg weekend around a tech event, reverse the logic: check what San Francisco conferences align with your schedule, then book SingleThread as the reward dinner.
What’s Actually in the 30 km Radius
SingleThread sits at 131 North St, Healdsburg. A 30 km circle reaches Windsor (~9 km), Santa Rosa (~23 km), and Sebastopol (~24 km)—all in Sonoma County wine country. No tech campus, no convention center, no startup cluster exists in this corridor.
| Event | Type | Location | Distance | Date | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| WIN Expo | Wine-industry trade show + AgTech conf | Sonoma County Fairgrounds, Santa Rosa | ~23 km | Dec 3, 2026 | Has AI/precision-ag track; ~300 exhibitors, ~3,000 attendees [1] [2] |
| Chimera Arts workshops | Maker-space workshops | Sebastopol | ~24 km | Ongoing | Arduino 101 Jul 9 [7]; AI for Creatives Jul 23+ [8] |
| Commercial IT training | 1-day vendor courses | Santa Rosa (varies) | ~23 km | Various | E.g., Cyber Security Jun 12 [10]; run by travelling training companies, not conferences |
Just Outside the Radius (FYI)
These are too far to count as “within 30 km” but are the nearest things to real tech community events:
| Event | Location | Distance | Status |
|---|---|---|---|
| North Bay Python | Petaluma (Reis River Ranch) | ~45 km | Annual; 2026 ran Apr 25–26 [3] [4] |
| AI NorthBay Meetup | Petaluma (RBP Co-Work) | ~45 km | 282 members; last event Nov 2025, no upcoming [5] |
WIN Expo: The Only Tech-Adjacent Option Within Radius
The WIN Expo is the closest thing to an IT conference in this geography—but it’s specifically the wine-industry trade show [1]. The tech content is genuinely substantive: tracks include precision viticulture (AI/computer vision for yield and disease detection), irrigation automation, and “drinking from the data hose” analytics sessions [2]. For IT professionals in AgTech, supply chain, or data engineering, it’s worth attending. For pure software/cloud/security professionals, it’s a stretch.
Verdict for trip planning: WIN Expo is December 3—viable for a winter trip paired with a SingleThread dinner on the same evening or the prior Saturday.
Santa Rosa’s Broader Tech Scene
Santa Rosa has a small recurring tech community [9], but it’s meetup-level, not conference-level:
- SRJC Computer Science Club — weekly during the academic year at Santa Rosa Junior College, ~20–40 attendees, student-focused [9]
- AI/ML workshops — occasional one-day sessions (commercial training companies, not community events)
There is no active GDG chapter, no recurring developer meetup, and no startup accelerator based in Santa Rosa as of June 2026.
Practical Recommendation
If the goal is to pair a SingleThread dinner with a real IT conference:
- December weekend: Combine WIN Expo (AgTech focus) at Santa Rosa Fairgrounds on Thursday Dec 3 with a Saturday SingleThread dinner.
- April weekend: North Bay Python runs annually in Petaluma in late April (~45 km, 35-min drive). Book the conference + a Saturday night at SingleThread; Petaluma → Healdsburg is a straightforward drive north on US-101.
- SF-anchored trip: For tier-1 IT conferences (AWS re:Invent is in Las Vegas; Dreamforce, Google Cloud Next, DockerCon are in SF), fly in to SFO and add a one-night Healdsburg extension—SingleThread reservations drop at midnight 60 days out.
