Explore eventObvious’s applied AI research team will lead a free, 10+ hour hackathon where teams build autonomous software factories, learning to coordinate agent swarms, automate QA, and ship larger features safely. Teams will compete for more than $30,000 in Obvious Fusion credits while working in an Obvious.ai workspace with unlimited tokens.
Explore eventThe discussion will examine how prediction markets and digital influence methods are reshaping election coverage ahead of the 2026 midterms, alongside the ethics and standards journalists will need to navigate.
Explore eventAn upcoming event will be hosted by the DSI Foundations Center, Columbia University’s Department of Statistics, and Columbia Engineering, bringing together expertise in data science, statistics, and engineering.
Explore eventHuman Bloom Collective will present a Halloween buildathon, game lab, and party where up to 60 participants, from artists and developers to curious beginners, will create games, immersive worlds, installations, and other experiments, then play and celebrate with their creations. No coding experience will be required, and the day will feature creative challenges, prizes, refreshments, and entertainment.
Explore eventThree days of developers and engineering leaders will dig into how to scale agentic coding across teams and real codebases, complete with keynotes, specialized tracks covering everything from agent governance to continuous evaluation, hands-on sessions, and networking.
Explore eventAI DevCon is bringing together developers and engineering leaders to dive deep into agentic coding across real teams and codebases, featuring hands-on sessions and practical tooling straight from people actively shipping with AI agents. Expect technical talks on scaling AI-native development, harness engineering, and agent enablement from the practitioners defining how AI agents actually get built and deployed.
Explore eventThe event will explore the foundations AI agents need to access data safely and the delivery infrastructure they need to ship code reliably, with talks, live demos, and Q&A on composing an AI-native SDLC with Visdom. Grzegorz Król will lead the opening session, drawing on talks delivered at Boston and San Francisco Tech Week, alongside the Visdom team from VirtusLab.
Explore eventThe event will explore AI’s growing ability to write code. Luma registration will be required for building access; a Meetup RSVP alone will not guarantee entry.
Explore eventUgly Talk will bring founders together for candid discussions of costly mistakes, setbacks, resilience, and practical ways to respond when things go sideways. The program will feature a keynote from Ben McKean, Hungryroot founder and CEO and former Groupon vice president and general manager, followed by a founder panel and audience Q&A.
Explore eventThe event will center on AI agents. Luma registration will be required for building access; a Meetup RSVP alone won’t guarantee entry.
Explore eventNew York Robotics and Intel will host a hands-on workshop for robotics developers, engineers and technical founders exploring Physical AI, perception, real-time control and scalable edge computing. Attendees will work with preconfigured robotics systems, hear directly from Intel engineers and explore ecosystem partner solutions for moving AI-enabled robotics toward real-world deployment.
Explore eventDevelopers, AI engineers, and technical founders will explore how to use voice, Rasa Mantle, and OpenAI’s Agents API to build a coding agent that creates and tests a conversational flight-planning experience with a live dashboard. No prior Rasa experience is needed, and qualifying participants can receive up to $5,000 in AI credits.
Explore eventAn evening will spotlight the builders shaping modern AI, with a focus on the people and work behind today’s advances.
Explore eventThe Nov. 3 meetup will bring together professionals for an upcoming community event; further details about its program and attendees’ qualifications are not provided.
Explore eventBilt.me’s Mobile App Build Night will help attendees turn ideas into working AI-powered mobile apps, no coding experience required, with time for building, feedback, and optional demos. Co-host Ella Molony Cook, a four-time founder with one exit, an Anthropic investor, and host of 250+ founder and investor experiences, will bring her community-building expertise.
Explore eventAuthZed and AWS will host an off-the-record dinner for platform, security, and AI leaders to discuss the permissions and authority challenges that determine whether agents reach production. The candid, presentation-free roundtable will focus on lessons from agents that succeed, and those that don’t.
Explore eventMIT Museum Galleries and Exhibitions Director Ann Neumann will explore how museums can become spaces for public experimentation, sharing interactive projects that engage visitors with CRISPR, machine learning, and sensory neuroscience. Presented with the National Arts Club’s Art and Technology Committee, the talk will offer practical insights for anyone developing products or testing ideas with the public.
