Tessl's AI DevCon is the NYC counterpart to the AI engineer scene: 700+ senior developers and engineering leaders who actually build with agents, three days in Industry City with a hands-on workshop day up front and two days of talks. The CFP explicitly rejected slideware and vendor pitches, so the sessions are experience reports on context engineering, agent orchestration, evals and "software factories", by people who have shipped it. Sponsors include Anthropic, OpenAI, GitHub, Google, Docker and AWS. If you are a technical founder building AI-native product and want to spend three days with the engineers you'd actually hire, this is the Brooklyn room.
