Voices from the ecosystem
What Boston's AI leaders are saying
Founders, executives, and partners on why Boston AI Week matters.
Boston AI Week is where Massachusetts shows how AI gets built and deployed. We bring together enterprises, researchers, academia, startups, founders, investors, nonprofits, artists, government, museums, and the public in one festival where people can learn, hire, invest, grow, and launch together.
Boston AI Week is the place to be if you care about the future of AI. It's a powerful platform to share what we've learned building Maven AGI and to help shape the next wave of enterprise-grade AI agents.
Jonathan CorbinFounder & CEOMaven AGIAI is a force multiplier for developers when it's secure at inception. Boston AI Week brings the builder community together to share practices for shipping secure software at AI speed.

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.
