SAN FRANCISCO – Nov. 5, 2026 – The San Francisco Press Club today announced that Alembic Technologies, a Causal AI platform for enterprise decision makers, will return as a breakthrough sponsor of the organization’s 49th Annual Greater Bay Area Journalism Awards. This marks the third year Alembic has sponsored the gala.
“We were proud to stand with the Press Club the first time, and we’re excited to be back,” said Cammy Keiler, VP, Marketing and Brand at Alembic. “Our work is about proving what actually causes an outcome, and good journalists do something similar. They follow the evidence until they find the story. Honoring the people who do that work in the Bay Area is an easy decision for us.”
The awards gala will be held on Monday, Dec. 7, 2026 at the Julia Morgan Ballroom in downtown San Francisco, where more than 300 journalists, media professionals and industry leaders will gather to celebrate excellence in Bay Area journalism. The event will include cocktail service beginning at 5:30 p.m., followed by dinner and awards at 6:30 p.m.
The December ceremony will recognize winners from the Press Club’s annual journalism contest, which received nearly 800 entries this year. The gala honors outstanding work across categories including breaking news, investigative reporting, feature writing, photography and digital media innovation. Guests will enjoy a three-course gourmet meal with wine service and panoramic views of the San Francisco skyline.
“When a sponsor comes back for multiple years, it tells us the gala matters to the people who attend and the companies that support it,” said Curtis Sparrer, president of the San Francisco Press Club and principal of Bospar. “We’re happy to welcome Alembic back and thank them for their continued commitment to Bay Area journalism.”
To help ensure that working journalists have priority access to this year’s gala, online ticket sales are designated for journalists $80), Press Club members ($70) and students ($50). A limited number of tickets for non-member supporters will be available by request at $350. Those interested may contact the Press Club for information.
Journalists with professional media email addresses can obtain Press Club membership immediately through the membership portal. Freelancers and others interested in supporting the Press Club are also welcome to apply for membership. Additional information about membership options is available through the Press Club’s membership portal.
Last year’s gala sold out well in advance, so get your tickets early.
