Cheers & Curiosity: Come curious. Leave connected.

CHEERS & CURIOSITY THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: Sports 📅 **Sunday, June 21 · 11:30 AM – 1:30 PM** 📍 **The Hoboken Biergarten · 1422 Grand St, Hoboken, NJ 07030** ───────────────────────────────────── THIS WEEK'S TOPIC: **Sports** The World Cup just kicked off on US soil for the first time in 30 years. The NBA Finals are heating up. The Stanley Cup is on the line. And somehow, sports has never felt bigger — or more complicated. Because it's never really just about the game, is it? It's about the city you rep, the team that raised you, the athlete you believed in before they let you down. It's about billion-dollar franchises and players fighting for fair pay. It's about why grown adults cry when their team loses — and feel nothing when they win the championship 10 years too late. We're cracking open all of it over a cold one on a Sunday morning. Come with your takes. Come ready to have them challenged. ───────────────────────────────────── TO GET THE CONVERSATION GOING: **→ Is sports culture bringing people together or dividing us?** **→ Do athletes have a responsibility to be role models?** **→ Has money ruined the purity of sport — or was it never** **really pure?** **→ What does your team say about your identity?** **→ With the World Cup in our backyard — are you a believer** **in American soccer yet?** ───────────────────────────────────── THE FORMAT: 11:30 AM Arrivals & casual mingling 11:50 AM Facilitated group discussion kicks off 1:00 PM We wrap — but the biergarten stays open 😉 ───────────────────────────────────── VENUE: **The Hoboken Biergarten** **1422 Grand St, Hoboken, NJ 07030** Please order at least 2 items to keep our hosts happy — drinks, food, or both. Non-alcoholic options welcome too! ───────────────────────────────────── No sports knowledge required. No jerseys mandatory (but honestly, wear yours). Come curious. Leave connected.

Al Agent Security Documentary Premiere - NYC

This is exclusively invited event, please apply to attend on the [event website](https://www.aicamp.ai/event/eventdetails/W2026062315) REQUIRED for admission. The event is designed for Senior AI Developers and Tech Leaders, such as CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security. **THE DOCUMENTARY** Before this documentary is released to the world, we are bringing together a select group of senior AI leaders in New York for an exclusive premiere screening. AI agents are being deployed faster than they are being secured. 88% of organisations have already experienced a confirmed or suspected AI agent security incident — yet only 14% have full security approval for their agent fleet. This documentary confronts that gap head on. Hosted by Alex Kantrowitz — founder of Big Technology, the film brings together four of the most important voices on AI agent security working today. * Ramesh Raskar , MIT Associate Professor — what makes AI agents uniquely dangerous and what the speed of deployment actually means for security. * Theresa Payton , former White House Chief Information Officer — why this is not just an enterprise risk problem and what the broader stakes are. * Sharon Gai , ex Alibaba - what innovation is happening in enterprises and scale ups. * Rory Blundell CEO of Gravitee — what organisations can actually do about it right now. All captured by an Emmy award winning director. **The EVENT** This is an invite-only evening in New York. A red carpet champagne reception, a private screening of the documentary, a Q&A, and a conversation worth having. The decisions being made about AI agent security right now will matter for years. **WHO SHOULD ATTEND:** CTOs, CIOs, AI architects, and senior leaders making decisions about AI adoption and security. **AGENDA:** * 6:00 Red carpet champagne reception * 7:00 Screening (25 minutes) * 7:25 Q&A (30 minutes) * 7:55 Networking * 9:00 Closing **Q&A SPEAKERS:** Lessons From The Documentary Q&A - Alex Kantrowitz and Rory Blundell, CEO of Gravitee The process of making this film took Alex & Rory deep into the AI agent security conversation — across disciplines, industries, and perspectives. They share what they found and what it means for the decisions organizations are making right now.
