A conversation for founders, builders, and innovators navigating the rapidly evolving AI startup landscape.

Learn to orchestrate AI agents that write and ship code for you. Claude Code is already changing how the best engineering teams ship. This workshop, presented with Provectus, is a chance to build with it directly — not watch a demo, not sit through slides about it. You'll leave having shipped something real, with a working sense of how to bring this back to your own team. We'll spend a little time on context — how Claude Code fits into modern engineering workflows and where teams are seeing the biggest wins. Then the slides go away, and you're at a build station with Anthropic and Provectus beside you, orchestrating agents that write and ship code while you direct the work. Why attend Ship real output. Your agents write the code — you direct them. You'll leave with something you actually built, not a slide deck about what's possible. See best practices in action. Learn how Claude Code fits into enterprise workflows, from the people who deploy it at scale. Get direct support. Live help at every table from Anthropic engineers and Provectus partners — no one gets stuck on an error alone. Build your network. Spend the afternoon with technical leaders wrestling with the same questions you are. Who should attend Engineering Leaders — EMs, VPs, CTOs, Platform Leads, Principal Engineers Business Leaders — CPOs, Digital Transformation, senior AI sponsors, PMs You don't need to be an engineer. If you're making decisions about AI investment or setting strategy, understanding what Claude Code actually does is the edge. Agenda 1:00 PM - 1:30 PM: Registration & setup support 1:30 PM - 2:00 PM: Welcome, Claude Code overview, demo 2:00 PM - 4:30 PM: Build session: hands-on with Claude Code 4:30 PM - 5:30 PM: Networking Happy Hour What to bring Your laptop — Basic comfort with a terminal or code editor is helpful but not required — you'll be directing AI agents and building alongside them, and our team supports you the whole way. The fine print The event is free to attend if

For The Firsts is a meetup club for those building without a blueprint Expect an evening of interesting conversation in an inviting space as you meet and mingle with other "firsts" - those who are the first in their family to choose their professional path with intention instead of inertia. The focus of our September meetup will be exploring the journey of 'firsts' who are balancing 2 firsts: their corporate career, as well as building a brand & business online. Here's what to expect: 6:00 - 6:30 PM: Arrival & Open Mixer 6:30 - 7:30 PM: A panel conversation and Q&A with Tameka Bazile and Ana Cordera (@anabuildshabits) 7:30 - 8:30 PM: Guided Networking Experience 8:30 - 9:00 PM: Open Mixer If you are approved, please try to arrive on time, as our events regularly hit capacity. Here’s what to expect: Cringe-Free Conversation: This isn't a networking event. It's a purpose-led meetup where who you are will always be more important than what you do. The dress code is always 'come exactly as you are, meet exactly who you need'. Guided Moments of Connection: This experience is at the core of For The Firsts. We’ll have a few rounds of guided connection meant to introduce you to others who share your story. Remember the first rule of For The Firsts: go deeper than your job title! Firsts, not Followers: Each meetup is curated to bring together the best possible group of professionals, creatives, and founders in NYC who are the architects of their own lives. Intention is in everything we do, and you'll find that in the people you meet. Remember, the best way to get to know someone is to get someone to know you. I want to encourage you to connect on who you are and your purpose for your work and life. Remember Rule #1: No job titles, go deeper. Tell us why, how and for whom you do what you do. Disclaimer: *By signing up for the event, you will also be subscribed to our weekly Substack 'First Things First' for additional updates and event announcements. *This event will be photo

Join us for deep dive tech talks on AI, GenAI, LLMs and Agent, hands-on experiences on code labs, workshops, and networking with speakers and fellow developers. Agenda: \ 5:30pm\~6:00pm: Checkin, Food and networking \ 6:00pm\~6:10pm: Welcome/community update \ 6:10pm\~8:30pm: Tech talks \ 8:30pm: Q&A, Open discussion Tech Talk: Best Practices when designing and deploying Snowflake Semantic Views Speaker: Stephane Burwash, Solution Architect at Infostrux Abstract: It's fun to build things. It's fun to showcase shiny new features, and test out new capabilities. But what happens when you need to audit? Or revert? Or god forbid, track the impact of a change on downstream performance? With agents being the shiny new toy on the block, we seem to have reverted back to the days where we pushed directly to prod. We'll be providing a bit of order to this chaos by showcasing a framework to integrate Context as part of your SDLC (Software Delivery Life Cycle), allowing to iterate on changes to your agents in a controlled, auditable and secure manner. Topics we'll be touching upon: \- What is the distinction between context and semantics? \- How can I ensure that my context is linked to my semantics? \- How can I evaluate the impact of the update of my context on downstream performance of agents? Speakers/Topics: Stay tuned as we are updating speakers and schedules. If you have a keen interest in speaking to our community, we invite you to submit topics for consideration: Submit Topics Sponsors: We are actively seeking sponsors to support AI developers community. Whether it is by offering venue spaces, providing food, or cash sponsorship.

If we take a step back from flame charts and performance profiles to ask "what does React need to do?" we can see that it's not one particular thing that makes your React app slow, it's slow due to React's design. In this talk, we'll walk through the major pieces of how React works, discover that some aren't necessary (if we change its shape a bit), and walk through a frontend framework that takes a different form: one that's smaller, simpler, and shaped for speed. Sufian Rhazi loves a good problem. He's a Principal Engineer at Cloudflare, building RUM and synthetic monitoring tools. For over two decades, he's built a career seeking out and working on a variety of programming problems. And every one of them ends up being the same: how to stop making things so complicated. When he's not solving problems, he's creating them at home for his poor wife and fur baby. \-\-\-\- We will have food and drinks and as always, we are going to have geekaways with geeky prizes provided by our sponsors. Agenda: 6:00PM - Arrive at the venue, meet other members 6:15PM - Event starts 6:30PM - Speed is a shape (why React is slow) (Sufian Rhazi) 7:15PM - Q&A 7:45PM - "Books and Stuff" geekaways 8:00PM - Open Discussion, Networking Make sure to fill out your legal name and bring your ID to show at security desk.

Cities have always been humanity’s greatest engines of opportunity, invention, and community. Today, cities are also where the consequences of climate change are felt most acutely. Floods, heat waves, storms, and rising seas are reshaping how billions of people live, work, and thrive. As we confront these risks, cities are at the forefront of climate adaptation. The economic stakes are immense - climate adaptation represents a multi-trillion dollar opportunity in technology, infrastructure, and finance. How we invest in resilient buildings, water systems, cooling infrastructure, insurance mechanisms, and community preparedness will determine the livability of our cities in the decades to come. To succeed, we must connect the dots between climate tech, policy, and finance to scale adaptation solutions quickly and equitably. This session will bring together climate adaptation startups, investors, corporate buyers, and policymakers to discuss how adaptation is being implemented in cities across the globe. Topics for discussion will include: How financing models like parametric insurance can accelerate adaptation at scale The experience of startups piloting flood protection, heat mitigation, and water resilience solutions in urban environments How New York City and other urban hubs are positioning themselves as test beds for climate adaptation technologies A pecha-kucha style showcase of adaptation solutions will include startups across the following themes: Flood & Water Resilience Heat & Cooling Insurance & Finance Data & Infrastructure Please also join us for great people, great food, and great conversation after the presentations in the heart of New York - with special thanks to our sponsors at Brown Rudnick!

The US imports the vast majority of the critical minerals that power its defense, aerospace, and semiconductor industries — but a meaningful share of what it needs may already be sitting in waste piles at the industrial sites that exist today. Join KOMPAS VC, SOSV, and At One Ventures for a breakfast conversation on what it actually takes to turn that waste into supply — and why the answer increasingly runs through a corporate partnership between a deep-tech innovator and an industrial incumbent, scaling proven technology beyond the pilot stage, not one company going it alone. We'll hear directly from Helios and Atalco, with a live example of how corporate partnerships move promising technology from pilot to commercial scale, on infrastructure that already exists. We'll also hear from ChemFinity on the critical partnerships to bring a recovery technology to industry and scale it through the right corporate partnerships. Expect a short, focused fireside chat, an investor perspective on backing partnerships like this one — including a look ahead from ChemFinity, an early-stage critical minerals recovery company sharing what they're looking for from industry as they grow — and plenty of time to connect over breakfast with others working at the intersection of hard tech, industrial partnerships, and the circular economy. 08:00–08:45 Networking & Breakfast 08:45–08:55 Welcome 08:55–09:15 Fireside Chat Why corporate partnerships unlock critical minerals recovery—from pilot to production Featuring: Jonathan Geifman (Helios) & Ed Humphries (Atalco) 09:15–09:35 Investor Perspective Why deep-tech wins through partnership, not disruption Featuring: Tony Moses (At One Ventures) & Adam Uliana (ChemFinity) 09:35–09:45 Open Q&A 09:45–11:00 Final Networking

Join Wireframe Ventures, Prelude Ventures, and Overture during NYC Climate Week for a focused discussion among leading fusion and fission innovators to discuss timelines, enabling infrastructure and what new opportunities become possible once this new foundation of clean baseload power gets built.

The 2026 State of Supply Chain Sustainability Report examines a paradox at the heart of corporate sustainability today: commitment is rising, even as the ability to deliver is becoming more difficult. The report explores how companies are responding to geopolitical disruption, governance gaps, fragmented sustainability data, rapid advances in Industrial and Agentic AI, and the broader challenge of embedding sustainability more deeply into supply chain decisions and operations. Produced by the MIT Sustainable Supply Chain Lab at the MIT Center for Transportation and Logistics and sponsored by C.H. Robinson Foundation, Breakthrough, and CO2 AI with Dassault Systèmes, the report reveals where progress is real, where the constraints are tightening, and why greater efficiency and intelligence do not automatically translate into greater sustainability. Join us for a panel discussion in the Chelsea/Meatpacking District with the research team exploring four major themes from this year's findings: Two Gaps: How Geopolitics and Governance Are Testing Corporate Sustainability — how stronger corporate commitment is colliding with external disruption, while public sustainability ambition is outpacing the internal governance and accountability needed to deliver it. Where Sustainability Lives in the Supply Chain — where sustainability is actually embedded in supply chain decisions, where it remains weak, what benefits companies are realizing, and how measurement and collaboration are expanding across the value chain. AI and Sustainability — how organizations are using Industrial and Agentic AI, what AI is contributing to sustainability today, and why greater efficiency and autonomy do not necessarily translate into lower environmental impact. Freight Transportation and Warehousing — how two critical physical parts of the supply chain are progressing on decarbonization, where efficiency gains are reaching their limits, and how technology, economics, infrastructure, and regional dif

Hosted by the MIT Climate Project as part of Climate Week NYC 2026: Data centers are at an inflection point, facing interconnected technical, operational, economic, and community constraints that demand cross-sector dialogue and innovation. The program will feature presentations from MIT researchers and spinouts developing technologies that will reshape the future of data centers, followed by a panel discussion exploring the sector’s most pressing opportunities and challenges. The session will also bring together a panel of leaders from technology, infrastructure, capital, and policy to explore how a systems approach can reveal pathways to reshape data center performance, strengthen community outcomes, and support long-term operational viability. A dedicated showcase and networking period will allow attendees to connect directly with presenters and explore areas of mutual interest. Location: Chelsea/Meatpacking District. Exact address provided upon RSVP approval. A confirmed ticket is required for entry. No walk-ins or unregistered guests will be accommodated.

🚨 CLICK HERE TO RSVP 👈 6 builders show how they use AI to solve real problems, at work or in life. Come see how you can steal their prompts and repos and put them to use yourself. ​Each practitioner gets 10 minutes to demo a workflow they actually use. These aren't intimidating AI Engineers (probably). ​They're AI users, just like you and me. ​What to expect: ​6 live demos: 10 minutes each, with the presenter walking through the decisions behind the build. ​The problem first: every demo opens with what was slow or broken before the workflow existed. ​Simple and complex side by side: a single custom GPT gets the same stage as a full multi-agent system. ​Take something home: presenters share a prompt, template, or setup you can copy after the event. ​🚨 CLICK HERE TO RSVP 👈 Come curious about what other builders have made, and leave with ideas for putting theirs to work for you. ​ Want to apply to be a presenter for the next AI Workflow Exchange?

Have you ever wondered why one startup, one tweet, or one node in your product's user graph explodes while a thousand identical-looking others don't? You've already run into Albert-László Barabási's work, whether you knew his name or not. He's the physicist who discovered scale-free networks: the finding that most real networks, from the web to your own social graph, run on a small number of massive hubs instead of evenly spread connections. That's the math behind preferential attachment, and it's why the web, social networks, and citation networks all follow the same power law. In collaboration with the National Arts Club and its Art and Technology Committee, Barabási will walk through 25 years spent turning that math into something you can look at. BarabásiLab's work has moved from raw data visualizations to physical, 3D-printed network sculptures, and from academic papers to museum installations. The current centerpiece is Constructing La Biennale, a 30-by-8-meter data visualization wrapped around the scaffolding of the Central Pavilion at the 2025 Venice Architecture Biennale. It maps roughly 12,000 architects and 3,800 projects across the Biennale's 45-year history, back to its first edition in 1980, as a single connected graph. Barabási has called it the most visible work at the Biennale, and building it, in his words, "was a massive data science project." If your product, your portfolio, or your own career runs on network effects, this is a rare chance to hear from the person who wrote the math for it. Reserve your spot and arrive early. Space is limited. Founded in 1898, the National Arts Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a mission to stimulate, foster, and promote public interest in the arts and to educate the American people in the fine arts. Annually, the Club offers more than 150 free programs—both in-person and virtually—to the public, including exhibitions, theatrical and musical performances, lectures, and readings, attracting an audience of over 30

Stories We Tend: A Garden Party by Kinfolk Tech Like a local community garden, collective memory doesn't survive on its own. It has to be tended, watered, and passed hand to hand or it withers.The stories people plant here today become roots for what the neighborhood imagines tomorrow. Our garden party invites community to share in memories of home and belonging, and to dream and imagine futures in Brooklyn. The event will feature live musical performances, small bites and tea, workshops, art-making, and a real life manifestation of our forthcoming free, consent-centered storytelling platform for community-authored multimedia memory keeping. We hope to see you at Whole Neighborhood Garden to join us in celebrating.

External registration required at nyhackr. This month we have Mirian Lima talking about how to provide your judgement to agents. Thank you to NYU for hosting us. Everybody attending must RSVP through the registration form at nyhackr. There is a charge for in-person and virtual tickets are free. Space is extremely limited and in-person registration closes at 3 PM the day of the talk. About the Talk: Judgment is the capacity; your creative process is its observable trace. Every conversation with your agent is exactly that — a trace. You're already sharing your expertise, every day, with an audience of one. The alternative: package your judgment, keep your intent. This talk shows what that means in practice. At the UN we packaged our methodological judgment as a portable kit: a Python package, an MCP server, and a skill set that turn a generic coding agent into an opinionated pair-analyst for self-service analytics. You'll leave with a simple framework for what to package and what to keep, a structural answer to 'won't this replace me?' (it doesn't), and two public-good reasons to share your judgment." About Mirian: Mirian Lima is a research methodologist working with economic development data — she packages methods for a living. At the UN Office of the Special Adviser on Africa, she builds tools that let non-technical policy analysts run their own code-based analyses — on numbers they can trust and results they can reproduce. Her work sits at the seam between rigorous social research methods and modern computational tooling, exploring how expert judgment can be packaged into systems that analysts and AI agents can both use well. The venue doors open at 6:30 PM America/NewYork where we will continue enjoying pizza together (we encourage the virtual audience to have pizza as well). The talk, and livestream, begins at 7:00 PM America/NewYork. Remember, register at nyhackr.
