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.

AI is moving from generating answers to taking action. As models become more capable, agents enter real workflows, and new systems learn to understand and simulate the world around them, leaders face a more consequential question: what should AI be allowed to do? EmTech AI 2027 will examine the technologies, strategies, and decisions shaping this next phase of AI, from business value and scientific discovery to products, security, work, and society.

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

To lead in AI, you need to see what is taking shape now.
