May AI Engineers: Devs & Drinks Meetup

Fonzi has scheduled its “May AI Engineers: Devs & Drinks” meetup for Wednesday, May 27, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. EDT in New York, according to matching event pages on Luma and the company’s own site. The gathering is pitched as a casual night for AI and product engineers rather than a conference session or formal panel. The exact address is not public on the event pages and is available only through registration. GarysGuide, a New York tech events calendar, also lists the event on May 27. ### When and where is the meetup? The Luma listing says the event will run on Wednesday, May 27, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. EDT in New York. The page says the address will be shown after registration and notes that entry is subject to host approval. Fonzi’s event page matches the May 27 start time and identifies the gathering as “May AI Engineers: Devs & Drinks.” The company’s page does not publish a street address either, reinforcing that organizers are keeping the venue private until attendees register. ### Who is hosting it? Fonzi is listed as the host on both the Luma and Fonzi event pages. (luma.com) The company describes itself as a recruiting platform focused on product and AI engineering hires in New York and San Francisco. The host description says Fonzi manages more than 75 open roles and names hiring partners including Suno, Graphite, Tennr, FLORA and OpenRouter. Those company names appear in the event copy as part of Fonzi’s recruiting pitch to engineers and startup hiring teams. (fonzi.ai) ### What kind of event is it? The event description says the meetup is built around drinks, games and informal networking with engineering peers. (luma.com) Organizers say pool, ping-pong, foosball, shuffleboard and arcade games will be available. The most explicit line in the listing is its promise of a low-pressure format: “No panels. No pitches.” The host says the aim is “just a good time with people building cool stuff,” framing the event as a social mixer for engineers rather than a demo day or investor program. (luma.com) ### Is it part of a larger New York startup-events run? GarysGuide lists “AI Engineers - Devs & Drinks” as a May 27 event in its New York calendar and places it among a dense week of startup and AI gatherings across the city. (luma.com) The listing’s spotlight text also ties the meetup to engineers interested in building “real-time digital humans,” though the main event pages themselves emphasize the social format over any formal presentation. The nycb2b.org page cited in the original card could not be independently verified from available search results. What could be verified is that the meetup appears on multiple current event platforms and falls in a week that already includes several Manhattan tech events on GarysGuide’s calendar. ### What should attendees know before signing up? The Luma page says registration approval is required, and it tells users they will be asked to verify token ownership with their wallet. (garysguide.com) The page does not explain that requirement in the excerpt available through search results, so attendees may want to review the registration flow before requesting entry. The same page says the event is in New York and that the exact address will be visible only after registration. (garysguide.com) Fonzi’s page directs users to join through its own sign-up flow, while GarysGuide lists the event as free. Wednesday, May 27, is the next concrete milestone for the meetup, with check-in tied to approved registration on Luma or Fonzi’s event page. The host pages say the event starts at 6:00 p.m. (luma.com) EDT in New York, and the venue details remain restricted to registered attendees.
