In a world driven by AI innovation, there is no AI without API management. APIs are the unseen force powering AI’s ability to connect, scale, and deliver value. apidays NYC is the premier event dedicated to mastering this critical intersection of technology and strategy.
“No AI Without API Management,” apidays NYC brings developers, architects, and business leaders together to explore how APIs are the key enablers for building, managing, and scaling AI projects. From secure data exchange to real-time monitoring, APIs don’t just support AI—they define its success.

API Governance: The Unsung Hero of AI Transformation
Speaker: George Mitry
In today's technology landscape, APIs have evolved beyond mere connectivity with external partners—they have become digital highways foundational to internal system integration seamlessly embedding artificial intelligence into sophisticated, data-driven workflows.
In an increasingly 'agentic' world, organizations that have achieved robust API governance are poised to thrive. These organizations must recognize that API management maturity is the most direct precursor to successful AI transformation. Disciplined API management practices provide an essential foundation for AI transformation, ensuring integrations remain compliant, secure, scalable, and maintainable. Without APIs, there can be no AI; therefore, establishing a scalable API oversight strategy is critical. However, scaling internal APIs for AI-driven operations presents considerable challenges.
In this session, George Mitry will outline how API strategy and AI strategy are inherently interconnected, along with key considerations for developing a mature API platform, including effective self-service models and governance processes that enable standardization and compliance. He will also share insights on how API Centers for Enablement (C4E) are evolving to effectively address the people, process, and technology challenges inherent in AI transformation.
Inner Source in Action: Revolutionizing Cross-Platform API Security with Reactive SDKs and Sidecars
Speakers: Arun Mishra & Umang Singh
In an era where APIs are the lifeblood of modern applications, securing them across diverse platforms presents a daunting challenge. This session unveils how our team leveraged Inner Source collaboration to pioneer a next-generation, cross-platform API security framework that’s both robust and scalable, with a strong emphasis on interoperability.
We’ll explore our innovative approach of placing enforcement points directly within the API—positioned as close to the workload as possible—while harnessing reactive SDKs and sidecars in a cloud environment to deliver seamless, high-performance protection. Central to our framework is the use of a universal signature-based token, which ensures secure interoperability by allowing APIs and consuming applications to communicate effectively across any platform.
Attendees will gain actionable insights into integrating reactive SDKs, sidecars, and token-based systems into their own workflows, discover how Inner Source practices can drive security innovation, and walk away with a practical blueprint to fortify their API strategies. This presentation offers an opportunity to learn cutting-edge techniques that will keep your APIs secure in an ever-evolving digital landscape.
