Paper & Pint 🍺📄 — AI in Finance NYC Launch

We're kicking things off with a format built for this community: one paper, one pint, one great conversation.

Before the event, we'll share a recent paper from the intersection of AI and finance — something accessible enough that you don't need to be a specialist in the exact subfield, but substantive enough to spark real discussion. Come having read it (or at least skimmed the abstract and key results — no judgment).

Then we meet at Radegast Hall, one of Brooklyn's best beer halls, grab a drink, and talk about it. What's novel? What's questionable? What would you do differently? Does this actually work outside of a backtest? The kind of conversation that happens naturally when you put a room full of quantitative and technical minds together with good beer and a shared starting point.

After the paper discussion, the evening opens up. Meet the other members, talk about what you're working on, share what tools and methods you're using, and help shape what this community becomes.

Who should come:

Data scientists, ML engineers, quant researchers, financial engineers, risk professionals, data engineers, students, and anyone in NYC who works at or is curious about the intersection of AI and finance. All experience levels welcome. You don't need to have published a paper to discuss one.
