What you likely need
You need events that translate your intellectual credibility and OpenAI affiliation into concrete institutional relationships — specifically with science philanthropists, biotech founders, and the HN builder community who already know your writing. The highest-leverage gatherings for you are small, high-trust dinners where you can make the case for New Science's model and walk away with warm intros to funders or collaborators. You'll also benefit from rooms that sharpen your public positioning as a founder-operator, not just an independent thinker.
