Where Leaders in AI Gather

For over a decade, EmTech AI has been the definitive event where researchers, entrepreneurs, and enterprise leaders converge to turn breakthroughs into actionable advantage.

This year, we turn our attention to the next imperative: The Great Integration. The experiments proved the potential; the pilots revealed the path. Now the advantage goes to those who operationalize intelligence: weaving models into operational fabric, threading intelligence through core workflows, and translating insights to genuine business impact.

Held on MIT’s iconic campus, the innovation playground where ideas become reality, EmTech delivers trusted, researched guidance from MIT Technology Review’s editorial team. In our exclusive, capacity-limited setting, you'll have the opportunity to connect directly with MIT Technology Review editors and featured speakers during breaks and receptions.

The future isn’t built with AI—it’s built on it.
