Startup Events in New York City

Note: we are postponing and redesigning this event for November. This was a new event type and let's just say, it wasn't as popular as we thought it would be so, in true crowd-validator style, we are going back to the drawing board. Please contact us if you have constructive feedback. Thanks and Stay tuned! Tickets for this event are transferable to our other events or please request a refund. Alex Fair Original write up - subject to change. Presented by MedStartr in Partnership with ClawCamp You bring the vision. We'll help you launch a company — in a weekend. Healthcare is broken in a hundred ways we all see daily. You've felt it as a patient. diagnosed it as a clinician. doded around it as a builder, and hated it as a person who came into healthcare to help people. The things you see that could be better are hard to fix, and it bothers you that they seem incorrigible. But then you got an idea of something that could help, if you could just build it and get it in the hands of people like you to help patients get better care and the system and caregivers to give better care. We know, we have met thousands of you and ARE you too. That's why we have run this group for almost 18 years and done so many events. But now, with the help of AI and the new MedStartr.ai platform, we can help even more. So we created what we are calling a "Launchathon" to help with all that and this is the first one! The NYC HealthTech Launchathon is your chance to do something about it. No startup experience required. No coding background needed. Just bring your problem, your perspective, and your curiosity — and we'll bring the AI tools, expert faculty, mentors, investors, and community to help you build something real. The Program: 3 Phases, 8 Weeks 🔶 Phase I · HealthTech ClawCamp · August 1–2 \\Day 1 — August 1 \| Stack AI HQ\, One World Trade Center\\ Learn. Ideate. Validate with Experts on hand and Build or add to your team from other folks like yourself. Meet amazing people.

Day of the Bats:
Welcoming Bat Conservation International to DSI, A Celebration of Bats, Blooms, and Día de los Muertos Date: Tuesday, October 27, 2026 Time: 3:30 to 6:00 pm ET Location: MFA DSI Studio, 136 W 21 Street, 5th Floor Every year, bats travel north along a trail of agave, a corridor of blooming plants that feeds them, and us, along the way. That corridor is disappearing. Bats and agave both take their time, an agave flowers once in its life, and a bat has one pup a year. Restoring this landscape means working at the pace of the living things in it. The School of Visual Arts MFA Design for Social Innovation Program (MFA DSI) welcomes Dr. Kristen Lear, bat scientist and Director of Bat Conservation International's Agave Restoration Initiative, to our studio. Her bi-national work across the U.S. Southwest and Mexico restores habitat for threatened pollinating bats while strengthening the rural livelihoods that depend on the same land. Day of the Bats arrives during Bat Week and Bat Celebration Month, and alongside Día de los Muertos, when people offer alebrijes at the altar. Come in at 3:30 pm, wander the studio, and make an alebrije-inspired bat of your own. At 4:00 pm, settle in for Kristen's talk on restoring the nectar corridor and what "scaling" can mean when growth is slow. Welcome into the world of the Bats!

At a time when artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping society, the conversation is shifting from broad principles to real-world accountability. The 2026 summit will explore the theme of Principles to Power: Embedding Accountability in the AI Era. For years, the Responsible Tech field has been guided by ethical frameworks, voluntary commitments, and emerging standards. Today, the challenge is clear: how do we translate those ideas into systems of governance, oversight, and design that ensure innovation does not come at the expense of safety, rights, or trust? The Responsible Tech Summit is designed as a curated convening for 375 leaders that helps align and shape the direction of the movement. Participants will include global governance leaders, AI researchers, industry practitioners, policy experts, civil society advocates, and philanthropic leaders who are building the infrastructure of accountability for the digital age. Through keynotes, panels, and conversations, attendees will explore topics such as accountability by design, platform oversight, youth online safety, the Responsible Tech economy, and the evolving global regulatory landscape. All ticket proceeds fund free resources and services for the Responsible Tech community that our organization provides. Can't make it in person? The event will be livestreamed for free on All Tech Is Human's YouTube page, where recordings will also be available afterward. – Are you a journalist looking to potentially cover the Responsible Tech Summit?

A monthly ML research colloquium by the New York Machine Learning Research Guild — this session in collaboration with our partner, Intuit. The Mathematical Theory of Deep Learning Arthur Jacot · Assistant Professor, Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, NYU Topic: TBD This session is a close-quarters look at that theory, with plenty of room to push back and dig in. About Arthur Arthur Jacot is an Assistant Professor at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences. He builds mathematical theory for how deep neural networks learn, and is best known for introducing the Neural Tangent Kernel during a PhD at EPFL with Clément Hongler. Recent work explains how DNNs act as a computational Occam's razor, finding simple, low-dimensional representations when trained with weight decay: A proof that wide networks trained with weight decay exhibit neural collapse (ICLR 2025, oral) An account of how DNNs break the curse of dimensionality through compositionality and symmetry learning (ICLR 2025) A newer paper framing deep learning as a convex paradigm of computation that minimizes circuit size with ResNets Arthur's honors include the 2025 AMR Prize in Mathematics of Artificial Intelligence and the 2023 EPFL PhD Thesis Prize. Who this is for NY-MLR colloquia are small by design. The room is capped, and we keep it that way so the discussion stays substantive and everyone in it can contribute.

Welcome to the Outliers Welcome Party, presented by the Outliers Summit. This is the event for founders, investors, and tech professionals building what’s next. We’re taking over an iconic, sprawling venue in the heart of NYC, and it’s going to be a night to remember. 👋 What is this? An evening with hundreds of founders, operators, and investors. Sunset views, great conversations, and real connections. 🌇 Where is it? A stunning space in the heart of New York City. The exact location will be shared with registered guests. 🤝 Who’s coming? Mostly founders, operators, and investors, though people from every industry are welcome. Whether you’re here to network, build relationships, or meet new friends, you’ll be in great company.

Business Insider dubbed him the "Gatsby of Silicon Alley."

What if a museum ran like a lab, with the experiment still in progress? Ann Neumann is Director of Galleries and Exhibitions at the MIT Museum. Her question for the evening: can a museum serve as infrastructure for public experimentation, a place where visitors take part in the work rather than just walk through it? If you build products, run pilots, or spend your days deciding what's ready to put in front of real people, this is a look at how one of the best-known science museums handles prototyping in public. In collaboration with the National Arts Club and its Art and Technology Committee, Ann will walk through the interactive projects she's shepherded at the MIT Museum. Each one works as a prototype for engaging the public with technologies like CRISPR, machine learning, and sensory neuroscience. 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 30,000 in-person visitors and thousands more online.

AI workflows rely on more than a model. They also need current data and a way to recover when a model, API, or other step fails. In financial services, where a repeated payment or a dropped step has real consequences, that recovery story matters even more. Join MongoDB and Temporal in New York to explore how durable workflows support AI applications. We’ll look at patterns for ingesting and preparing data for RAG, retrieving context, and coordinating agent workflows that can recover after failures. What we’ll explore: Preparing and indexing data for AI applications with MongoDB Atlas Coordinating ingestion, retrieval, and agent workflows with Temporal Designing AI workflows that can recover when steps fail Who should come: FinTech Engineers building AI-driven workflows Developers and architects building AI or data-intensive applications Engineers exploring RAG, agents, or vector search Teams interested in making multi-step AI workflows more dependable What's Happening: 🎤 Talks & demos from engineers working in AI and Data 🤝 Networking with engineers building production systems for AI and FinTech 🥘 Great food, drinks, and real technical conversations Agenda 6:30 PM - Doors open and check-in 7:00 PM - Introductions and welcome 7:10 PM - First Round of talks (TBD) 7:40 PM - Break 7:50 PM - Second Round of talks (TBD) 8:20 PM - Closing 8:30 PM - Event close About MongoDB MongoDB is a developer data platform for building modern applications.

The Hardware Meetup community is excited to announce our next event at Parter's NYC office. Hardware Meetups happen across 35+ cities around the world, bringing together hardware professionals to network and learn from each other. You might not realize it, but NYC is a hotbed for this kind of innovation and tonight you'll meet two companies working at the cutting edge of this technology. THANK YOU TO OUR HOST PARTER Parter is the AI-native BOM optimization platform that takes hardware from design to production without supply chain surprises. It continuously monitors every part on the BOM and flags shortages, EOL and lead time risks early, so issues are caught in prototyping, not on the production line. When a part is at risk or overpriced, Parter proactively finds drop-in alternates and cross-references, validated for fit, form and function, so teams can cut cost and lead time without a redesign. Datasheets and PCNs are parsed automatically, and every affected BOM is flagged the moment a change is announced. AGENDA 6:30 - Arrival 7:00 - Welcome and introduction 7:15 - Speakers 8:00 - Mingling 9:00 - Event concludes SPEAKERS Stay tuned for speaker announcement WANT TO GET INVOLVED? Sponsorship: We offer exclusive access to our 10,000+ member community through sponsorships. Host an event at your space: We are always looking for host sponsors to provide access to unique spaces from cool hardware companies building interesting things. Want to open up your office? Speaker: Do you have something interesting to share with our community? We're on the lookout for fresh faces to talk about their journey and experiences.

Money never sleeps. Neither do agents. Right now, a human still approves every trade, every payment, every flagged account. How much longer can finance work that way? Agents can already execute. The big concern is trust. Give an agent too little authority and it’s useless. Give it too much and it’s dangerous. Getting that balance right is the whole game. We’re looking for agents bold enough to act and safe enough to trust. What you can build for 📈 Markets & Trading: research, strategies, and prediction markets 💸 Agentic Payments: moving money safely, within limits 🕵️ Compliance & Financial Crime: catching fraud and managing risk 🧾 Finance Ops: automating invoicing, collections, and treasury We bring the venue, the compute credits, and the food. You bring the idea. Judges Pradeep Dhananjaya - Tech lead @ AWS Who is it for? Engineers, quant builders, fintech founders, and anyone working in finance who wants to build. If you’re excited about agents and money, the market is yours. Bring a team of 2-4. Solo? Find teammates in our Discord before kickoff. Agenda 9:30 AM — Doors Open + Opening Remarks 11:00 AM — Kickoff & Hack 1:30 PM — Lunch 4:30 PM — Project Submission 5:00 PM — Finalist Demos + Judging 7:00 PM — Awards + Closing See what’s possible.

Unapproved or pending applicants will not be admitted at the door.

We'll have Patti Shin from Google present Modern Web Guidance. ***\>\>\> Details TBD <<<***

Global Speakers, Partners, Attendees Will Convene For 3rd Annual Global Space Tech Summit Space Tech Summit brings together hundreds of entrepreneurs, pioneers, and creatives under one roof to address humanity’s greatest challenges via space technology. The summit also serves to convene key private and public stakeholders that can extend access to space industry developments to mainstream audiences. Every year the program welcomes global speakers and partners with unique perspectives on the future of Space and how one can be a part of it. Today there are over 88+ mainstream annual conferences for space experts and potential enthusiasts. Yet as space becomes a more relevant part of our future reality- the ecosystem continues to gather only space experts, astronauts and researchers. Space Tech Summit asks- what happens when we invite the creatives, entrepreneurs, authors, actors, athletes and other ecosystem builders of society to the "future of space" conversation? In 2018 the theme focused on “The Future Exploration and Commercialization of Space'' with an analysis of ecosystem influencers that drives the space industry to new heights such as startups, SME's and enterprises, VC funds, angel investors, research think tanks, governments and corporate innovators. In 2019, for the 50th Anniversary of the Moon Landing, the theme focused on “Lessons of 50 Years of Space Race History and What it Means for Humanity’s Future”. In 2020, during the pandemic year, Space Tech Summit convened micro virtual roundtables on how space technology can impact global grand challenges. This year's theme is “From Space Travel to Space Cities - The New Era of the Space Tech Movement” where there will be a heavy dialogue on influencers who are driving the space race to make humans a multi planetary species by 2050. The summit will also highlight sub themes like “A Look at How to Relocate to Space in the Future” , “How startups can disrupt the future of space” and “The Current Applications of
