<h3 id="summary-problem-motivation">Problem/Motivation</h3>
<p>The Drupal AI Initiative are organising an event in New York City co-located at API Days NYC 14th May 2026. It follows the same model as AI Summit Paris where there are multiple events happening at the same venue, meaning there is a good chance to attract new audiences - passes grant access to all events so people can rotate between sessions of different events. What we saw in Paris was that people were attracted to our sessions when they were more general, therefore we will be modeling the agenda to tap into this mindset..</p>
<p>This is a rare opportunity to raise Drupal awareness in the heart of NYC that we want to make sure a maximum audience is attracted.</p>
<p>We have set a clear objective of tailoring the agenda to resonate with end customers, potential end customers. </p>
<blockquote><p>From 9:00 am to 5:45 pm at 360 Madison Avenue in the heart of Midtown Manhattan, you will have access to thirteen sessions built entirely around case studies from peers who are applying AI in production environments. No theoretical frameworks. No technical deep-dives. Just honest, grounded conversations about what works, what doesn't, and what it takes to build AI your organization can trust for the long term.</p></blockquote>
<p>Practitioners and leaders are flying in from across the US and Europe to share first-hand experience and to learn from each other. Your pass also grants access to the wider apidays New York event running across both days, connecting you with communities exploring APIs, AI agents, cybersecurity, and modern digital infrastructure — all under the same roof.</p>
