# Closing Remarks Ksenia Se, swyx · AI Engineer NYC 2026 · October 14 [Watch recording](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31554s) [08:45:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31554s) As we come to the close of AI Engineer New York 2026, we'd like to thank everyone for [08:46:01](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31561s) being part of this incredible event. [08:46:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31563s) To share a few final words and officially wrap things up, please welcome back our MC, [08:46:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31569s) Xenia Seh from Turing Post. [08:46:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31577s) Woo-hoo! Clap, clap, clap! [08:46:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31581s) Thank you, Cristobal, and thank you to all of our speakers. [08:46:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31584s) And I would like to ask you to stay for one more minute. [08:46:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31586s) We have someone very special to see. [08:46:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31590s) We've covered a remarkable range over these three days, [08:46:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31594s) from building agents to changing how financial institutions work [08:46:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31598s) and how to simulate the world. [08:46:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31601s) I imagine quite a few of us have a longer list of things [08:46:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31604s) to investigate than we arrived with. [08:46:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31607s) That seems like a reasonable outcome [08:46:49](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31609s) for a conference full of engineers. [08:46:52](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31612s) Thank you, the team who put this program together [08:46:55](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31615s) and the crew and our sponsors and partners [08:46:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31619s) and to everyone of you who came ready to share their work [08:47:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31624s) and ask questions and do clap, clap, clap. [08:47:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31627s) Please. [08:47:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31629s) Thank you. [08:47:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31630s) I hope some of the conversations that you started here [08:47:14](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31634s) turn into things we will hear about at the next AI engineer. [08:47:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31639s) And I want to welcome to the stage [08:47:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31641s) the guy who has been behind the curation, [08:47:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31644s) the one and only Swix. [08:47:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31649s) She just did. [08:47:30](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31650s) Hi. [08:47:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31652s) Thank you so much for staying to the end. [08:47:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31654s) And thank you to Ksenia. [08:47:35](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31655s) Give her a hug to Ksenia. [08:47:37](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31657s) Thank you, guys. [08:47:38](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31658s) If you haven't seen, so I know she's very selfless, [08:47:41](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31661s) and she's emceeing for the second time. [08:47:44](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31664s) But if you haven't seen her videos on Turing Post, [08:47:46](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31666s) highly recommend. [08:47:47](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31667s) She has a great YouTube channel, and she's [08:47:50](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31670s) spending a lot of time editing that, which I really admire. [08:47:54](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31674s) Thank you so much. [08:47:56](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31676s) I hope this has been a great few days for you. [08:47:59](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31679s) I heard a lot of feedback from sponsors, from attendees, [08:48:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31683s) from speakers. [08:48:04](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31684s) And we're really trying to make a home in New York. [08:48:06](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31686s) This is why I'm so grateful to have Chris and Pim and all the other great New York City AI founders. [08:48:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31692s) This is something that I think people don't get enough love for in this city, [08:48:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31696s) which is how much real work and frontier pioneering work gets done, [08:48:21](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31701s) both in the financial institutions and just in general, AI research, AI infrastructure, and all that good stuff. [08:48:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31707s) So I won't keep you too long. [08:48:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31709s) I'll just talk a little bit about our upcoming events. [08:48:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31712s) I'm wearing the shirt for code now. [08:48:34](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31714s) So we're basically, you know, code is our first home, first vertical summit, and coding [08:48:40](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31720s) agents really I think are the sort of pinnacle of where verifiable AI is going. [08:48:48](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31728s) We're also confirming that we are launching AI Engineer Europe again. [08:48:53](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31733s) That's the second year in London in February, and obviously the big, big show of all, bigger [08:48:58](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31738s) than all the other ones combined, the World's Fair. [08:49:00](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31740s) 10,000 people in San Francisco next summer. [08:49:03](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31743s) so there's a lot of AI [08:49:05](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31745s) that's going to be happening between now and then [08:49:07](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31747s) we may be all out of a job [08:49:09](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31749s) but if you're out of a job [08:49:10](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31750s) that means you can come to more AIEs [08:49:12](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31752s) right? [08:49:13](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31753s) so [08:49:16](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31756s) anyway we'll all have a good time [08:49:17](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31757s) thank you so much for being here [08:49:18](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31758s) thank you for supporting us [08:49:19](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31759s) I hope you all made lots of friends in professional context [08:49:23](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31763s) follow the conversation back home [08:49:24](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31764s) and meet up among yourselves [08:49:26](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31766s) that is what [08:49:27](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31767s) it's so rewarding for us and our team [08:49:29](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31769s) to provide this community for you [08:49:31](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31771s) So thanks for your support. [08:49:32](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jiUC6IUMdvc&t=31772s) See you next year.
