We open the festival the way Boston does best: fresh oysters on the waterfront, great food and drinks, and high-energy networking with the founders, executives, investors, researchers, students, and builders of the Massachusetts AI ecosystem. At 7:00 PM, a panel of AI experts will share what is ahead for AI in Boston and beyond. An annual tradition, the Opening and Closing Parties bookend the festival at the same waterfront raw bar.
