New York App Week 2025: Full schedule and how to join

New York App Week is just around the corner! From October 13–16, 2025, New York City is becoming a hub for app growth, with four days of meetups, workshops, runs, dinners, and networking events — all centered around RevenueCat’s App Growth Annual conference on October 14. This community-driven initiative (proudly supported by RevenueCat) is designed to bring app builders and growth enthusiasts together across the city. And here’s the best part: you don’t need to attend App Growth Annual to join any App Week event. Each event is independently open — so whether or not you’re at the conference, you can still discover, connect, and grow all week long.

❗️ Note: In-person App Growth Annual tickets are now closed / waitlisted due to high demand, but you can still attend virtually for free and catch all the main-stage action online.

Now, let’s dive into the full App Week schedule. Here’s every event and how to join:

Sunday, October 12

​Organized by Thomas Petit, with drinks sponsored by RevenueCat, Sunday Beers is the opportunity to join a small group of founders, marketers and growth PMs for informal chats on mobile growth. Surrounded by the drinks, food, and heat of Hell’s Kitchen, NY, get together with like-minded folks ahead of the big week to connect and chill out.

Tuesday, October 14: App Growth Annual 2025

App Growth Annual (all day @ The Glasshouse, NYC + online) is the flagship event of App Week.

The world’s top app founders, growth leaders, and industry experts gather at App Growth Annual for a full day of keynotes, tactical talks, and hands-on workshops — capped off with an epic afterparty at NYC’s Glasshouse, featuring Jason Paige and DJ Jazzy Jeff.

Whether you’re one of the lucky ~300 who nabbed an in-person ticket, or are tuning in virtually, get ready for a content-packed day (and night). In-person registration is now closed, but the conference will be livestreamed — and anyone can still sign up to catch all the main stage sessions and big announcements.

RSVP: Virtual attendance is free — register here to get your online access. (If you applied for in-person attendance earlier and got approved, we’ll see you at The Glasshouse!)

✨ Pro tip: Even if you’re not at the conference, there are App Week meetups every other day that you can attend freely. App Week is for everyone in the community, not just conference-goers!

Wednesday, October 15

Runna ✕ RevenueCat 5K Run (7.30am, along the Hudson River) — Start your Wednesday with a breath of fresh air and a burst of endorphins
Join fellow app builders for a friendly 5K run along one of Manhattan’s most scenic routes, co-hosted by running app Runna and RevenueCat. All paces are welcome, whether you’re a seasoned athlete or prefer a casual jog (walkers are welcome too!).

Finish at Bluestone Lane Cafe by the Vessel, where coffee and breakfast await — a perfect chance to refuel and network with fellow app enthusiasts.

‘Software Sommelier’ by Lickability (10am–12pm @ White Noise Coffee) — Code and caffeine, anyone?
Product agency Lickability is hosting a cozy, caffeinated design lab where you bring your app or prototype and get it ‘taste-tested’ by expert designers and developers. Think of it like Apple’s WWDC design labs — but in a coffee shop with a latte in hand. You’ll receive honest, actionable UX/UI feedback from the Lickability team in a friendly, hands-on setting. It’s a fantastic opportunity to polish your app’s design, connect with fellow builders, and walk away with fresh ideas (and probably a caffeine buzz).
RSVP: Space is limited to keep it intimate, reserve your spot here

City Climb & Lunch at The Edge (Hosted by OneSignal) (Climb starts ~11.45am; lunch at 1pm @ Edge, Hudson Yards) — Networking with a side of adrenaline
OneSignal invites you to an unforgettable afternoon atop Edge NYC, the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. The event starts with an optional City Climb — a thrill-seeking group of 18 will scale the outside of a 1,200-foot skyscraper (!) and lean out from the building’s peak. (Yes, you read that right. It’s the highest open-air building ascent in the world.) Not into heights? No worries! Join in at 1pm on the Sky Deck for a gourmet lunch and open bar with jaw-dropping 360° views of Manhattan. With a semi-private space and curated food stations, plus plenty of time to mingle once climbers return to celebrate — this is a truly unique way to connect with fellow app professionals.
RSVP: Due to venue requirements, please request an invitation here (limited spots for the climb especially)

RevenueCat ✕ Applause: Golf @ Chelsea Piers (5–8pm @ Chelsea Piers Driving Range) — Fore! It’s time to unwind after a long day with some swings and smiles

Enjoy drinks and food as the sun sets over the Hudson, practice your drive with spectacular waterfront views, and network with other app folks between turns at the tee. Rumor has it a surprise celebrity guest might show up — you won’t want to miss that photo op!
RSVP: This event is invite-only (to keep the bays manageable) — request to join here

Doors open at 6pm, talks start at 7pm, and yes, there’ll be pizza.
