The quietest part of your event might just be the most powerful. Join us for Quiet AI: The Silent Engine Behind Seamless Events, happening on May 28 at 11:00 AM ET.

What's Wrong With Food? (www/Food) is a half-day event to start a conversation on future of food, and in this case, particularly for New York City. By inviting the progress makers of the industry, the aim is to discuss the current efforts towards today’s problems and propose sustainable solutions for the future. To encourage both conversation and action, portion of the proceeds will be donated to nonprofit organizations that dedicate their efforts towards hunger relief.
