About
AI Dev NYC 2026 is a technical, hands-on AI developer conference hosted by DeepLearning.AI and Andrew Ng, taking place on November 30 and December 1, 2026 at Chelsea Piers in New York City. The event is built for AI engineers and builders rather than for vendor pitches: across two days and four stages, the programme combines talks, workshops and hands-on labs led by working engineers who show how real systems are implemented. The format puts practical knowledge first, with sessions designed so that attendees build alongside the speakers instead of only listening. As an AI conference in New York in late 2026, it gathers developers working on machine learning applications, agentic systems and production AI engineering in one venue on the Hudson waterfront. For practitioners who want implementation detail over marketing, AI Dev NYC is one of the more engineering-focused gatherings on the AI developer calendar.

Planning your trip to New York
Contains sponsored linksAI Dev NYC 2026 straddles the last day of November and the first of December, the moment New York tips into its holiday season. Shop windows along Fifth Avenue are dressed, outdoor ice rinks are open, and a sharp cold settles between the Midtown towers after dark. For machine learning engineers and builders in town for two packed days, Manhattan's grid keeps logistics simple: most hotels, venues and sights are linked by a single subway ride or a brisk walk of a few blocks.
Getting there & around
Three airports serve the city. Newark Liberty (EWR) connects by AirTrain and NJ Transit rail to Penn Station in Midtown, usually in 30 to 45 minutes. LaGuardia (LGA) is the closest to Manhattan but has no rail link, so buses, taxis and ride-hailing are the options, with journey times highly dependent on traffic. John F. Kennedy (JFK) offers the AirTrain to the subway or the Long Island Rail Road, reaching Midtown in roughly 45 to 75 minutes.
Skip the taxi queue — pre-book a fixed-price airport transfer with Welcome Pickups. Exploring beyond the city? compare rental cars on EconomyBookings.
Staying connected
Mobile data in Manhattan is fast above ground, yet overseas plans tend to bill US roaming at premium rates. Setting up a US eSIM before the flight gives attendees working data for demos, ride-hailing and maps from arrival. Set up an eSIM with Airalo before you board and you're online the moment you land.
After the sessions
Top of the Rock. The observation decks at Rockefeller Center offer what many consider the best skyline view in the city, because the Empire State Building and Central Park are both in frame. At the turn of December, the plaza below is preparing its famous Christmas tree and skating rink. Sunset slots sell out first, so booking ahead is sensible. Tickets on Go City →
Bryant Park Winter Village. Behind the New York Public Library's main branch, this Midtown park turns into a seasonal market of small food and craft kiosks wrapped around an ice rink. It is free to wander, stays open into the evening and is only a short walk from Times Square and Grand Central. Forty-five minutes is enough for a warming drink and a lap.
The Metropolitan Museum of Art. On the eastern edge of Central Park, the Met is large enough to absorb an entire cold day. A realistic plan picks two or three areas, such as the Egyptian Temple of Dendur, the European paintings and the American Wing, over about three hours. Friday and Saturday late openings are useful for visitors extending the trip into a weekend.
The High Line and Chelsea. This elevated park on a disused freight railway runs for over two kilometres along Manhattan's west side, from Hudson Yards down to the Whitney Museum of American Art. Winter strips the planting back but reveals the architecture around it. Walking the full length takes 40 minutes, with Chelsea Market near the southern end for lunch.
Good to know
How cold is New York at the start of December?
Daytime temperatures typically fall between 3 and 9 degrees Celsius, with wind making it feel colder among tall buildings. A proper winter coat, gloves and a hat are advisable; significant snow is possible but not usual this early.
Which airport is best for a Manhattan conference?
All three work. Newark and JFK have rail connections that avoid road traffic, while LaGuardia is physically closest but relies on road transport. The choice usually comes down to airline and fare.
Is tipping expected?
Yes. In restaurants and bars with table service, a tip of roughly 18 to 20 percent is customary, and taxi drivers and hotel staff are generally tipped as well. Card terminals usually prompt for it.
