Built by the community

A movement, not a conference.

Boston AI Week grew out of the belief that Massachusetts should not experience AI as isolated conferences, closed-door meetings, and scattered meetups. It should come together — across startups, enterprises, universities, government, investors, artists, students, and practitioners — as one connected ecosystem.
