The New Renaissance

A fireside on being human in the age of AI

AI Collective NYC × Solana Foundation

We are living through a renaissance in real time.

AI is reshaping how we create, work, and relate to one another. Blockchain is transforming how value, ownership, and coordination move through the world. As these technologies converge, we have an opportunity to ask a deeper question: what does it mean to be human in the age of AI?

Join AI Collective NYC and Solana Foundation for a curated evening at Skyline bringing together founders, artists, engineers, creative technologists, and investors working at the frontier of AI and blockchain.

The evening will begin with a moderated fireside exploring three interconnected themes:

Humanity: How do we preserve agency, meaning, and connection?

Technology: What becomes possible when intelligence and ownership become programmable?

Economic impact: How will these systems reshape work, creativity, and the distribution of value?

But this will not be a passive conversation. Guests will contribute their own questions, ideas, and visions for what should exist through a shared digital space. The collective pulse of the room will come alive throughout the evening and help shape what comes next.

We’ll close with drinks, light bites, engaging conversation, and an intimate rooftop mixer overlooking New York City.

This gathering is the opening chapter of a larger journey from discussion to hackathon to demo day, giving the ideas and connections formed in the room somewhere meaningful to go.

Please note that space is very limited for this gathering. We review every application with care, but unfortunately cannot accommodate everyone we would like to. If you are not accepted this time, please keep applying. We deeply appreciate your interest and look forward to welcoming you at a future event.
