Event Overview
The Ethical Tech Summit Week 2026 brings together AI engineers, blockchain developers, generative AI builders, researchers, and human rights advocates to tackle the most pressing ethical, societal, and technological challenges of our time.
This two-day NYC AI & blockchain experience combines:
March 12 — Build AI Agents: Hackathon & Builder Day
A hands-on AI hackathon NYC, where participants move from idea → prototype → demo using cutting-edge AI agents, generative AI tools, and Web3 applications:
• Claude in VS Code for AI-assisted coding
• Lovable for AI-native app development
• Tavily for real-time web search APIs for LLMs
Why this is viral: live demos, GenAI-style mixers, community collaboration, and practical AI-building experiences make this event high-energy, shareable, and action-driven.
March 13 — Ethical Tech Summit + Networking Event
Engage with 15+ leading experts and thought leaders across AI, blockchain, human rights, and emerging tech. Explore topics like:
• Responsible AI governance and ethical deployment
• Blockchain transparency, accountability, and AI + blockchain integration
• Digital privacy, surveillance, and censorship-resistant technologies
• Human trafficking detection and social impact technologies
Why Attend:
• Collaborate with builders and coders during the AI hackathon NYC
• Present your prototype to thought leaders at the Summit
• Learn from global experts shaping ethical AI, responsible AI, AI governance, and AI agent development
• Network with technologists, researchers, and policymakers in NYC through community mixers and demo night-style interactions
This is not just a conference, it’s a movement, a NYC AI community, and a launchpad for the next generation of AI innovators.
