About This Event
The AI Agent Conference 2027 is a two-day enterprise conference on autonomous AI agents at the New York Hilton Midtown in New York City on May 17-18, 2027. It is curated by Firsthand VC in partnership with the NYSE and aimed at senior executives who are putting agents into production. The organiser projects 4,000+ attendees, 100+ speakers and 100+ exhibitors; the 2026 edition (May 4-5, same hotel) drew more than 1,000 executives, engineers and investors. Programming is organised into ten agentic themes by role and sector: enterprise leadership, engineering, IT infrastructure, operations and robotics, finance, legal and compliance, security, customer-facing functions, financial services and insurance, and life sciences and healthcare. Around them sit hands-on workshops and live demo stages. The 2026 edition also published The Agentic List, a ranking of 120 agent companies.

Why Attend
Most enterprises are past the agent pilot: 2026 attendees heard that 79% of organisations report some agent adoption but only 11% run agents in production. This conference is organised around closing that gap by function, so a CIO can send legal, security and finance leaders to their own themed tracks while engineering attends the infrastructure sessions. You leave with peer benchmarks from regulated buyers such as banks, insurers and healthcare firms, a vetted vendor shortlist via the Agentic List, and governance patterns you can apply directly.
Event Features

What Makes This Unique
- ★Single-topic: the whole programme is about AI agents, organised by the buyer's role (legal, security, finance, IT) rather than by vendor
- ★Buyer-side speaker roster in 2026, including Thomson Reuters CEO Steve Hasker, Citi and Blackstone, alongside builders like Glean, CrewAI and Datadog
- ★Discounted $1,299 passes for VP-and-above Fortune 1000 executives, startup C-suites and AI technologists, which tilts the room towards decision-makers
- ★2026 recaps describe a substantive, implementation-focused programme (governance, security, data readiness) rather than product launches; the 2027 attendance projection of 4,000+ is the organiser's and roughly four times 2026's 1,000+
