AI & No-Code Events in New York, October 2026

New York’s October calendar spans hands-on building, technical conferences and focused discussions about how AI is changing established industries. The month opens on 6 October with AI & IP USA 2026 at the Marriott Marquis, examining the intersection of artificial intelligence and intellectual property. Builders can then put real-time systems into practice at the Real-Time Video Agents Hack on 9 October.

For engineers working with production AI, AI Engineer New York 2026 takes place on 12 October at the Sheraton New York Times Square Hotel. Later in the month, the AI for Educators Summit at Teachers College, Columbia University, and CREtech New York 2026 at the Javits Center both land on 20 October, offering dedicated programmes for education and commercial real estate.

The closing stretch includes research, emerging technology and responsible deployment, with events covering AI collusion, quantum computing, LLMs and responsible tech. That mix makes October well suited to developers shipping AI products, researchers exploring new technical questions, and professionals applying AI in education, property, law and customer-facing teams.

AI Collusion Research Sprint

Online

Hosted by Apart Research

AI Collusion Research Sprint is a three-day, hands-on AI safety event running 23–25 October 2026 online and at Collider in New York City. Over one intensive weekend, participants will design and run controlled experiments investigating when AI agents collude, how auditors can distinguish coordination from coincidence, which channels carry collusive behaviour, and how defenders might disrupt it. The sprint is organised by Apart Research with Poseidon Research and AE Studio, with an in-person hub hosted by Collider in New York on Saturday and Sunday. What you’ll work on Participants choose one open research question, build an experiment and write up their findings. Projects sit within three tracks: - Markets and collusion: examine which variables allow collusion to emerge, whether it survives changes in participants, how detection could improve, and which restrictions reduce collusion at the lowest cost. - Detection and audit: investigate which tasks encourage collusion, whether combining agents’ statements and actions improves detection, and what should qualify as convincing evidence in logged trajectories. - Carriers and countermeasures: test whether actions, tools or side channels can transmit coordination; whether trusted agents can disrupt it; how agents identify peers; and how coalitions respond when monitored. Each question connects to existing papers and open-source code. Practical resources include starter code, a weekend-sized project suggestion, a rough cost estimate and a route designed to run on a standard 16 GB laptop without a GPU. Format and who it’s for Teams of one to five people will select a track, develop a project and ship their results over three days. You do not need to arrive with a team, have previous sprint experience or possess an AI, machine learning or AI safety background. The programme is particularly relevant to quantitative finance professionals whose market intuition and data skills transfer naturally to the research questions. Engineers, researchers and participants from other industries are also welcome, with mixed teams encouraged. Prizes and next steps… Register for this event
