The Production Stack: Scaling Agentic AI across Finance, Film, and Enterprise
Hosted by Genvid × Renaissance × Lowenstein Sandler LLP × Pulse NYC - Location: Midtown Manhattan
This event is part of #AIWeekNY by Pulse NYC—a community-led festival celebrating innovation across the AI ecosystem. More at https://pulse.nyc/ai-week/
The hard part isn’t the demo — it’s execution under real pressure: finance has to turn evidence into a high-stakes call; film and video have to keep the work coherent through notes, finishing, and a hard lock; enterprises have to adopt new systems without trading away security, brand, or control. It’s a repeating scene: context splinters, handoffs multiply, the plan unwinds, and time is spent. The problem is rarely effort; it’s an ever-shifting architecture.
This event brings together a panel of industry experts, builders, and investors to compare notes across finance, film, and enterprise. You will hear how organizations move from pilots into production, where assumptions break under real constraints, and what separates experiments that stall from outcomes the market can rely on. The conversation is built for operators: fewer predictions, more postmortems and hard-won habits from people who have seen scale go wrong—and right.
You'll also get to see a screening of The Seeker, the first commercially released AI feature film. It is a proof point: convergence of many inputs into one shippable product.
