Rooftop & Karaoke: Productivity Meets Play at Aloft LIC

Wed, Aug 12, 11:00 PM
From Innovative Impact Entrepreneurship with AI
4.7

Two floors. One night. Two different kinds of work. We're back at Aloft LIC, and this time the format is built around something founders forget to do on purpose: switch modes. **7:00 to 8:00 PM** Rooftop, 18th floor. Manhattan views. Focused conversations. The kind of talk that clarifies a decision or opens a door. **8:00 to 9:00 PM** Ground floor. Karaoke. No agenda, no pitch, no next step required. Grab the mic or grab a drink and watch someone else grab it. Here are pictures of our past events at the venue: [https://photos.app.goo.gl/zTZso9QtLCUF65pS7](https://photos.app.goo.gl/zTZso9QtLCUF65pS7) Not all output. Not all play. Both, on purpose. This isn't a rigid schedule. Come for one floor or both. Arrive at 7, arrive at 8, stay past 9. **📍 Location**: Aloft Long Island City-Manhattan View Hotel, 27-45 Jackson Ave, Long Island City, NY 11101 **📍 Date**: Wednesday, August 12, 2026 **📍 Time**: 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET Check in at the lobby when you arrive. Staff will point you to the right floor.

The AI Briefing by Startup Grind - Agentic Governance

The AI Briefing by Startup Grind - Agentic Governance

Fri, Aug 14, 2:00 PM
From Startup Grind NYC
4.7

**👉 [CLICK HERE](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-ai-briefing-by-startup-grind-agentic-governance/) TO RSVP FOR FREE 👈** The AI Briefing is a recurring **AI deep-dive for decision-makers.** Each month, we select one high-signal industry report, circulate it in advance, and meet to cut through the noise. 📜 **This Month's Source:** [The AI Agent Governance Gap: What CISOs Need Now](https://labs.cloudsecurityalliance.org/research/csa-research-note-ai-agent-governance-framework-gap-20260403/) (*Cloud Security Alliance AI Safety Initiative – Apr 2026*) Gartner projects that **40% of enterprise applications will embed task-specific AI agents** by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% in 2025. However, it's becoming clear that **governance hasn't kept pace** with that curve. A 2026 survey of CISOs and CIOs at large enterprises found that **92% of them lack full visibility into their own AI agent identities**. 95% doubt they could detect or contain a compromised agent if one turned up. **That leaves a real gap for enterprises deploying agents today.** No enforceable standard exists yet, and the frameworks most organizations already lean on (*NIST AI RMF, ISO 42001, the EU AI Act*) were built for AI that responds to a prompt, **not for AI that plans and takes action** across outside systems on its own. **🏔️ The Mission:** Who owns the agent when it acts? * This session is co-hosted with [Lazy 8 AI](https://luma.com/lazy8?k=c), an engineering collective focused on the transition from manual coding to managing autonomous AI systems. * We'll use the report's own gaps, especially around identity and incident response, as the anchor for a broader conversation: what readiness actually looks like when the standards bodies are still a year or more behind the deployments. **📊 The Format:** * **We'll open with the numbers:** 92% of CISOs and CIOs blind to their own agent identities, and a standards timeline that leaves them on their own well into 2026. * **The room debates the report's own recommendations:** agent inventories, least-privilege credentials, agent-specific incident response. What's realistic for a team that's already stretched, and what's closer to theater. **🤝 Who Should Attend:** * **Enterprise Executives:** Understand the exposure your organization is carrying right now, before a standard exists to measure against, and what following best practice will need to mean when a regulator or a board comes knocking. * **Product, Data, and Operations Leads:** Compare notes on what you're actually doing today to track agent identity, permissions, and incident response, and where the gap between what leadership assumes and what's built is widest. * **Founders & Builders:** See where the governance tooling gap is actually a product opportunity, and why the report's own commercial incentives should make you skeptical of framework adoption as the automatic answer. **📬 The Prep:** This is a working session. Review the report [here](https://labs.cloudsecurityalliance.org/research/csa-research-note-ai-agent-governance-framework-gap-20260403/). Bring your perspective. **👉 [CLICK HERE](https://www.startupgrind.com/events/details/startup-grind-new-york-city-presents-the-ai-briefing-by-startup-grind-agentic-governance/) TO RSVP FOR FREE 👈**

Frequently asked questions

CEO roundtables are structured forums where chief executive officers gather to discuss business challenges and opportunities. These meetings offer a collaborative space for executives to share knowledge, strategies, and experiences, fostering personal and professional growth.

At CEO roundtables, participants take turns sharing insights on specific topics, engaging in group discussions, and receiving feedback from peers. This setup provides an opportunity for leaders to both give and gain valuable insights.

These roundtables are generally tailored for chief executive officers and business leaders looking to network with peers in New York City. Participants often gain perspectives from those in similar leadership roles.

Typically, attendance is reserved for CEOs and high-level executives. However, some roundtables might welcome other senior leaders. It's advised to check specific group requirements before attending.

Joining a CEO roundtable may require a membership or participation fee. These costs cover meeting logistics and any materials needed for discussions. Some groups may offer limited free sessions as trial runs.

CEO roundtables in New York usually meet in business centers, office spaces, or appropriate venues large enough to accommodate executive discussions in the city context.

The frequency varies, but many CEO roundtables meet monthly. Regular sessions help maintain continuity and allow participants to engage consistently over time.

Yes, preparing by reviewing topics or business challenges beforehand can enhance contribution to discussions. Bringing specific questions or ideas can also be helpful.

You can join a CEO roundtable by searching for a suitable group on Meetup or contacting current members if invited. Ensure participation aligns with both availability and interest.

It might be difficult to find a group that fits every busy CEO's schedule perfectly. Exploring multiple groups or contacting event organizers for alternate arrangements can be helpful.

Some CEO roundtables may offer hybrid or virtual formats to increase accessibility. These can be a flexible option for those with a tight or unpredictable schedule.

While CEO roundtables offer networking chances, they can't guarantee successful partnerships or experiences. Engagement is key to deriving value from sessions.

Immediate outcomes aren't guaranteed; value accrues over time through active participation and relationship building within the group.

Yes, they're designed to address diverse business issues through peer discussions. However, the specificity and depth will depend on the roundtable's agenda and focus.

Not every interest might have an active group in every location, but New York typically offers diverse options due to its vast business community.
