We’ll keep this short and sweet:
Our first invite-only AI Engineer Summit was sold out, 10:1 applicant ratio
Our multitrack AI Engineer World’s Fair sold out 3k seats, got >1m views
The invite-only Summit is back! and
focused on Agents: everyone you meet is/has put agents in production.
moving to NYC: we think the NYC AI community has been overlooked and underserved for far too long and want to showcase the best of NYC tech. What better place to build agents that never sleep in the city that never does?
No vendor/framework pitches: focused on new LLMs, end use cases, hard won advice, war stories, demos, and high profile launches of agents (working definitions here, we will reject all "agents" that are just chatbots).
We have great talks from the big labs, agent startups, and hard-won lessons lined up (follow @aiDotEngineer/drop email in our footer to be notified), but want more. Apply here for an invite to attend and here to speak/sponsor.
Day 1: AI Leadership in the Age of Agents
We were mildly surprised that the AI Leadership track was one of the most well reviewed tracks of the World’s Fair (we had never run a Leadership-oriented event prior to this). We have just released the full playlist of 2024 talks, for free. If you are running a larger AI team in bigger enterprises, this track covers the all the important concerns building AI at scale, from custom models to evals to safeguards to hiring, bringing you real life experience across industries from finance (Mastercard) to education (Khan Academy) to tech (NVIDIA, Twilio, Neo4j, SourceGraph).
It seems that demand for both content and connections for technical AI leaders at larger companies is incredibly high, so we are proud to bring back the AI Leadership track at Summit as well! Apply here with your info and we will prioritize.
Day 1 & 2: AI Engineering → Agent Engineering
AI Engineer events will always have technical AI Engineers as our core audience. Day 1 will be for practical, long form workshops from the leaders in the field, stretching your skills and getting you hands-on-keyboard with the experts on hand.
Day 2 will be the day we focus the conference entirely on Agents. Many are saying “2025 will be the year of Agents”, but significant gaps remain between expectation and reality, and we will gather the world’s best agent builders to share the state of the art, commiserate over how much further we have to go, and to make concrete plans and connections to fix those gaps.
Our request for talks include these agent-oriented interest areas:
Memory
Personality
Agent Evals
Voice Agents
LLMs for Agents
Proactive Agents
Coding/CodeGen
Planning & Reasoning
Multi-Agent Architectures
Guardrails/Safety/Privacy for Agents
Computer Use/Model Context Protocol Agents
AI/UX for Agents aka Human-Agent Interaction design
AI Agents in Finance (we will have 50% banking/hedge fund/RIA audience)
Agent Architecture aka How To Make A SOTA Agent (demonstrate why it is SOTA)
All Days, IRL only
And of course, the most important but un-marketable part, the “hallway track”.
Curating this necessarily involves some gatekeeping on the definition of an agent, but we will hold a high bar here and desk-reject all "agents" that are just chatbots.
