MCP in the Wild: The Future of Data Agents in Production
Join ODSC AI, Snowflake, Block, CrewAI & OpenBB in NYC for an evening dedicated to the next evolution of AI: Autonomous Data Agents.

The most successful AI initiatives of 2026 aren't just about better LLMs - they are about how those models interact with your data. The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is changing the game, providing a universal standard to connect AI models to data sources seamlessly.

Join us in the heart of New York City on April 2nd to explore cutting-edge MCP use cases, solve implementation challenges, & learn best practices for building production-ready data agents. We're bringing together NYC's top engineers & AI visionaries to move beyond the hype & into high-impact, agentic workflows.

Why Attend?

Master the MCP Spec: Hear directly from the teams at Block, CrewAI, Snowflake, & OpenBB on how they are implementing the Model Context Protocol.

Network with Builders: Connect with 100+ AI practitioners & data leaders in the NYC ecosystem.

Expert Insights: Learn how to bridge the gap between static data & autonomous action.
