The rare AI conference that nobody's marketing department owns: independent, vendor-neutral, and built around 120+ speakers who actually ship models rather than slide decks. Day ZERØ on Sept 29 is the small, high-signal founder-and-investor day and sells out first; Sept 30 and Oct 1 open up to the full floor at Pier 48 on the waterfront. Go for the researchers and infrastructure people you can't get a meeting with any other week of the year.
