Roles you will actually see
Who should go
Engineers already building with LLMs who want to meet the teams hiring for applied AI in NYC.
This is the best room in NYC this fall if you want an AI engineering job, but it is not a job fair and you should not act like it is one. Talk shop at the expo, show something you built, and let hiring come up naturally. Many sponsors are startups; sponsorship policy varies wildly, so ask directly and do not assume. If the ticket is out of budget, the Monday evening expo hours are the cheapest way in.
Show up prepared
- 1Ship a small public demo you can pull up on your phone
- 2Map the sponsor list to open roles and pick 8 booths
- 3Prepare two technical questions per booth that show depth
Sponsorship reality
Sponsorship varies by employer. No organizer publishes sponsorship. Check each employer you plan to meet against H-1B disclosure data before you go, and ask in the first two minutes so neither side wastes the conversation.
Showing up is half of it.
The other half is being first to the roles these employers post, and having something real to show when you get there.
See roles the minute they go live, tailor one resume per employer, and reach the hiring manager directly. Walk into the event as a follow-up, not a stranger.
Start free13 weeks of building real AI agents and automations, so the answer to "what have you built" is a link, not a story.
