MIT’s Flagship Event at the
Frontiers of Technology

September 29 - October 1, 2026
In-person on the MIT Campus and Online

Discover What Matters

Since 1999, EmTech MIT has gathered leaders, researchers, and builders on the MIT campus to understand the technologies shaping the future. EmTech Future continues that mission for a moment defined by convergence.

We are at the edge of a new era. Across artificial intelligence, energy systems, quantum technologies, and machines and materials, powerful new forms of capability are emerging. The most consequential breakthroughs are no longer happening within individual domains, but at their intersections, where technologies combine, and entirely new classes of systems begin to take shape.

Held on MIT’s campus and curated by the editors of MIT Technology Review, who report on and investigate these technologies every day, the program delivers clear, grounded insight into what is emerging and what matters most. In a setting designed for meaningful exchange, you will engage directly with the people building the future of technology.

Know what matters, before it becomes obvious.
