So You Want To Get Physical?
So You Want To Get Physical?
New York has the talent, research institutions, capital, and industrial depth to become a hub for physical intelligence.
This intimate gathering brings together established figures working across embodied AI technologies with a carefully selected group of founders considering their own move into the field.
The evening is designed to create the kinds of connections that are otherwise difficult to find: candid conversations with experienced builders, useful context for people exploring the space, and new relationships across New York’s emerging physical-intelligence ecosystem.
The focus is on thoughtful introductions, substantive conversation, and helping exceptional people find their way into the world of Physical Intelligence.
Who should attend
This is a founders-only event looking either start their own company or join a established organization on the forefront of physical intelligence.
