Five Reasons to Attend DataSnipper Connect NYC

DataSnipper’s flagship event, Connect is returning to New York City, and this year we’re bringing big speakers, a bigger venue, and like the name says, opportunities for audit and finance leaders to connect with one another. 

The format follows a two-day arc. Day 1 is inspiration and learning. Day 2 is putting it into practice with hands-on sessions designed against your own AI maturity. 

Here's why we want you there: 

1. A speaker lineup built for unique conversations 

Named on the inaugural TIME100 AI list, Alondra Nelson led the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and the team behind the 2022 Blueprint for an AI Bill of Rights, one of the most influential AI-accountability frameworks the US government has produced. She's also a co-author of the 2026 book Auditing AI. Hearing how AI governance gets written, from someone who helped shape it, is the kind of authority that both inspires and educates. For public sector teams looking to pave their way responsibly into AI adoption, this is a session for you. 

If you’re curious what standards the IIA is setting for the future and what this means for internal auditors, you won’t want to miss Anthony Pugliese, President and CEO of the IIA, opens with the view from the top and how he is leading the association with the wave of AI.. His own numbers tell the story: gen-AI use in audit work jumped from 15% to 40% in a single year.  

We're bringing together leading firms and audit teams who can share what they are seeing and learning, including insights from DataSnipper's executive team, RSM, Genpact, Protiviti, Standish Management, and more. 

2. Learn in the heart of the Financial District 

There’s no better setting for finance and audit leaders to come together than steps away from Wall Street. Day 1 is at Cipriani 25 Broadway, the old Cunard Building in the Financial District, a block from the infamous Charging Bull.  

New York Fashion Week runway shows, black-tie galas, and immersive art experiences aren’t the typical backdrop for our community to join, but we’re inviting you to join us not just for knowledge sharing, but for a true immersive experience.  

3. Get hand-on training on Day 2  

Day 1 is for inspiration. Day 2 is putting that inspiration into work. 

You'll spend the morning in hands-on labs at Club 55 by Cipriani on Wall Street, working on a real audit or finance scenario next to peers from other firms. Two tracks, first come first served: "AI Agents: Getting Started" if you're new to agents, and "AI Agents: Advanced Builds" if you're already chaining them and want to find the automation you haven't tapped yet. 

You walk out with a working AI Agent workflow you can hand to your team on Monday. That's what separates a lab from a webinar. You build it yourself, next to people solving the same problems you are. 

4. Earn CPE 

A practical one, quickly: several sessions qualify for continuing professional education credit. You get two days of real learning and the CPE hours to show for it. 

5. See what's next from DataSnipper before anyone else 

Hearing about what’s next for auditing technology, before anyone else, is what sets you ahead.  

Attendees get first access to DataSnipper's newest release, live, before it goes public. You'll be among the first people to see what the future of agentic audit technology looks like and how DataSnipper keeps up with the curve. 

Save your seat 

Connect NYC is free to register. Seats are limited. We keep the room small because we want you in it, close enough to get your hands on the labs, talk to the speakers, and leave having learned something. The Day 2 labs fill quickly, so the sooner you register, the better your pick. 

DataSnipper is the agentic platform for audit and finance, used by 600,000+ professionals across 175 countries, including all four of the Big 4, and it delivered $1.4 billion in productivity in 2025. Two days in New York will show you where it goes next.
