The broader 10-day event will feature 100+ sessions, workshops, and networking opportunities across blockchain, Bitcoin policy, AI, energy transition, and space economy innovation.

You'll spend an afternoon building with Claude Code alongside Anthropic engineers and Provectus partners, directing AI agents to write and ship actual code while learning how leading engineering teams are deploying this at scale. Engineering leaders, CTOs, and decision-makers will walk away with something real they built, direct support from experts, and a network of peers tackling the same AI orchestration challenges.

Engineering leaders and CTOs will unwind with ping pong, arcade games, and craft drinks while swapping war stories on scaling teams and incident response. This high-energy happy hour brings together seasoned SREs, infrastructure experts, and dev community peers for some genuine networking away from the conference floor.

Computational chemist David Pearlman—with four decades of experience including founding roles at Biosym Technologies and leadership at Schrödinger—will explore how physics-based methods complement AI in drug discovery, filling the gaps that data-driven approaches miss. The New York Area Group for Industrial and Medicinal Chemistry will bring together the local computational chemistry community to dig into why AI's training data limitations make these hybrid approaches essential.

Senior Turbopuffer engineers and Gergely Orosz (creator of the Pragmatic Engineer) will dive deep into search database internals with live whiteboard discussions on Turbopuffer's architecture, fueled by food and drinks all night.

Obvious's research team is running an intensive hackathon where you'll build your first Level 2 autonomous software factory—meaning you'll go from writing prompts to assigning agents actual features to build, complete with hands-off build loops, multi-agent swarms, and cloud sandboxes. The crew behind 1000 PRs in a day with 10 engineers will walk you through designing verification systems, optimizing CI for rapid iteration, and rethinking how your team works when autonomous delivery becomes the norm.

Fourteen Japanese technical founders will showcase their AI products and go-to-market strategies at this Demo Day, featuring everything from AI infrastructure platforms to enterprise applications backed by ERA Global and JETRO's accelerator program. Infrastructure builders, applied AI practitioners, enterprise leaders, and investors will connect with top AI startups spanning governed cloud operations, autonomous agents, compliance automation, and safety-critical systems.

Amdahl's AI/ML engineers will be coworking with builders in AI and GTM, offering a laid-back afternoon to network, collaborate, or debate the future of agentic go-to-market strategies with no formal agenda or presentations.

AI researchers and engineers will dive into cutting-edge machine learning techniques and network with industry experts exploring the latest advancements in artificial intelligence.
