AI Adoption Open Mic & Happy Hour: Volume 3

New York still doesn’t need another boring AI panel. So, we’re bringing back the AI Adoption Open Mic & Happy Hour for round three.

After two packed nights bringing New York’s AI community together, PAIR’s Open Mic returns for another evening of drinks, new connections and refreshingly honest conversations about how AI is actually being used at work.

The format is simple: anyone can take the mic and has 100 seconds to share something they’ve built, tested or learned with AI, and the difference it made.

Previous speakers have included people from Google, Adobe and some of New York’s most ambitious companies, with pitches covering new agents, practical workflows, unexpected experiments and lessons learned the hard way.

The strongest pitch of the night will win a $500 cash prize and a three-year PAIR licence worth more than $800.

P.S. You don’t need to pitch to take part. Come along to meet people shaping AI adoption, hear what others are trying and leave with ideas you can take back to your own team.
