New York
Hosted by Netlify & Sanity
Build your own AI agent or agentic workflow in New York on 8 September 2026, guided by engineers behind the tools. Pioneers NYC is a hands-on evening for builders who want to move beyond AI demos and spend time actually creating an agent. Organised by Netlify and Sanity, the event gives attendees direct access to engineers responsible for the technologies they will be working with,a practical format that is rarely available at a standard developer meetup. What you’ll build The central activity is building your own agent or agentic workflow. Rather than focusing solely on presentations, Pioneers NYC is structured around making something with support from people who understand the underlying platforms in depth. The evening will feature engineers and builders connected to: - Sanity Context - Sanity Content Agent - Sanity Functions - MCP - Netlify - Airtable - NVIDIA and Gong That mix creates an opportunity to explore how content, functions, data and AI tooling can fit together inside an agentic workflow. The emphasis is on practical building rather than abstract discussion, with the engineers behind the tools present during the session. Who it’s for Pioneers NYC is aimed at people actively exploring AI agents, agentic software and modern application development. It should be particularly relevant to developers, technical founders, product builders and hands-on AI practitioners who value direct access to platform engineers. The published event information does not specify prerequisites or an experience level, but the build-focused format will appeal most to attendees ready to work on an agent or workflow during the evening. You’ll also be among builders from organisations including NVIDIA, Netlify, Airtable, Gong and others. This makes the event a chance not only to create, but also to compare approaches with people working across AI infrastructure, content systems, data and application delivery. Places are limited, and the organisers report that only the final few spots remain. Register for Pioneers NYC.
