AI Engineer New York

AI Engineer New York is a three-day conference held from October 12 to 14, 2026, at the Sheraton New York Times Square^{4, 6}. The event focuses on the deployment of production AI systems within the financial services sector, including banking, hedge funds, fintech, insurance, and asset management^{1, 4}.

The programme begins on October 12 with technical workshops and a welcome reception^{1, 4}. The following two days consist of keynotes, sessions, and leadership programming, with an expo floor open throughout the event^{1, 4}.

Who is in the room

The event hosts approximately 1,000 engineers, technical leaders, CTOs, and VPs of AI^{1, 4}. Past participants have included representatives from firms such as Jane Street, Bloomberg, BlackRock, Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, Two Sigma, Citadel, and JP Morgan⁴.

How to get in

Tickets are available for purchase on the official website on a first-come, first-served basis until the allocation is sold out^{1, 4}. There is also an associate programme where individuals can apply to assist with event operations in exchange for full conference access⁷.

Last time

This is the third time the event has been held in New York⁴. Previous editions have been described by attendees as high-signal events with effective networking opportunities⁴.

Why it matters

This conference is intended for practitioners building high-precision, data-intensive AI systems where the cost of failure is high⁴. It is specifically tailored for those working in finance rather than general AI engineering⁴.

Practical

The event takes place at the Sheraton New York Times Square^{4, 6}. It is a smaller event than the organiser's World's Fair conference, and attendees are advised that tickets are limited⁴.
