About
Celebrate the close of Core Festival Week, the nine-day heart of Boston AI Week, The Festival of AI, at Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar in the Seaport. Regroup with fellow attendees, reflect on the week's most exciting ideas and discoveries, and celebrate the connections made along the way. Join us on the waterfront for a memorable evening and a toast to the people shaping what comes next.
The official Closing Party returns to Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar, an annual tradition in the Seaport, our Host Neighborhood, with thanks to Seaport by WS Development and Island Creek Oysters. Nine days of talks, workshops, demos, hackathons, and gatherings across Massachusetts, from the AI in Massachusetts Workforce Development and Career Fair at Boston University to the Boston AI Summit in the Seaport, deserve a proper send-off: Island Creek oysters fresh from Duxbury Bay, food and drinks from the raw bar, and unhurried time with the founders, executives, investors, researchers, students, and builders who made the week what it was. This is the night the week's new connections become lasting ones.
Everyone is welcome, regardless of affiliation, whether you made it to one event or twenty. And the festival is not over: Boston AI Week continues across Massachusetts through October 28. Bring your calendar.
Free to attend. Space is limited, so RSVP now and close Core Festival Week with us.
