Join the AI debate night where you defend the take you'd never post online.

RAG is dead. AI is already sentient. Open weights should be banned. We should trust models we can't explain.

Think you can argue either side?

Find a partner & sign up as a team. At the event, you'll draw a controversial AI take at random. Your team gets 3 minutes to prepare & 10 minutes to make the case. You don't choose the position. You have to sell it.

The room votes live. The strongest arguments win prizes.

First prize: Surprise Lego sets

Second prize: Qdrant hoodies

Third prize: Surprise TBA

Teams of 2, each person receives a prize

Additional prizes to be announced

Both members of every winning team receive a prize.

Not feeling argumentative? Come watch the debates, play games, grab a drink, & enjoy the spectacle from a safe distance.

Your RSVP includes:

one drink ticket (beer, wine, classic cocktail or well drink) for the first 150 people to arrive

Small bites & appetizers

Unlimited pool tables, darts, foosball , ping pong & shuffleboard tables

Built for engineers, AI researchers, & builders in New York City, especially anyone working on search, retrieval, or agents.

Check-in begins at 6:30 PM. Debates start at 7:00 PM.

Spots are limited, & registration approval is required. This is a 21+ event.

By registering, you agree to receive event emails & consent to being photographed at the event.
