About
Boston AI Week grew from the idea that Massachusetts' AI community should operate as one connected ecosystem rather than as isolated conferences, meetings, and meetups. The 2026 theme is “AI in Business and in Life.” Sponsorship materials describe it as the largest AI festival in the Northeast.
