"How do I deploy AI as a real work partner across my team — not just a chat tool for one person?"
If that question has been sitting on your desk, this afternoon is built for you.
MuleRun has grown from zero to over 1 million users globally by helping non-engineers put AI to actual work. We're bringing together NYC's strongest operators across finance, e-commerce, marketing, and professional services to share what's working, what's next, and how teams are truly becoming AI-native.

✅ 1. A Real AI Workflow Running for You
You'll leave with at least one AI agent actively handling real work:
• Research
• Reports
• Spreadsheets
• Competitor monitoring
• Content summarization
• Repetitive operational tasks
Not a demo. A deployed workflow.

A curated community of organizers, creators, operators, and industry experts shaping how AI is deployed inside real organizations.
Ambassadors receive:
• Early access to upcoming MuleRun product releases
• Direct access to the MuleRun product team
• Co-marketing opportunities to 1M+ users
• Financial support for content, events, and community initiatives
• Paid partnerships, sponsorships, and case study opportunities
Your seat in this room is the first qualification.
✅ 3. A High-Signal Room
This event is intentionally curated for:
• Senior operators
• Industry experts
• Founders
• Investors
• Builders actively deploying AI in production
Not people talking about AI. People operationalizing it.
