Eagle Alpha's recap of its September 17th New York gathering is light on hard detail but signals where sell-side chatter is heading: MCP (model context protocol) integration is now table stakes in vendor pitches, not a nice-to-have. For sourcing teams, that's a cue to start asking vendors how their data plugs into agentic AI workflows during the next trial cycle, rather than treating it as a slide-deck buzzword.
Worth watching whether Eagle Alpha publishes fuller session notes, since the value here is in the specifics vendors shared, not the topline framing.
The New York Alternative Data Conference 2025, hosted by Eagle Alpha, returned to Midtown Manhattan on September 17th, bringing together leaders across the alternative data ecosystem for a full day of insights, innovation, and networking.
