Join us for a special AI Edition of Taco Tech Tuesday, NYC’s longest-running recurring tech meetup, bringing together founders, developers, students, creators, investors, and AI enthusiasts for an evening of networking, hands-on learning, and collaborative innovation.

Whether you’re completely new to AI or already building autonomous agents and AI-powered applications, you’ll leave with new connections, practical experience, and a project you can continue developing after the event.
