I am visiting NYC for the next ten days. Any interesting tech talks or dev meetups or hack nights happening over the next ten days in NYC? I am trying to figure out a way to meet a few developers in the area, and get a sense of their interests.

My general interests are in machine learning, computer vision, and graphical models. I am a software engineer, currently working at a mid size startup building a digital advertising and data aggregation platform.

Thanks!

I am not sure if this is what you are looking for but as far as NYC tech events are concerned this should be relevant enough - http://betabeat.com/2012/12/best-tech-events-this-week-happy...

Though I am not in NYC but I often visit BetaBeat and this is something which I've remembered.

Hope this helps. Have fun in Big Apple.

Some of these are tech-related: http://www.meetup.com/cities/us/ny/new_york/

Also, a good Reddit meetup: http://www.meetup.com/NYC-Redditors/events/96246432/

You might just miss it, but if you're still in town, check out the Foursquare hackathon on 1/5.

Gary's guide is probably the best source of tech events in NYC (apart from meetup). I used to go to quite a few of the events here before I got my current programming job.
