Boston Generative AI Meetup at Boston AI Week 2026: AI in Business and in Life

Laugh Boston (in the Westin Boston Seaport)
425 Summer St
Boston, Massachusetts
Join us for a special Boston AI Week edition of the Boston Generative AI Meetup exploring the festival’s 2026 theme: AI in Business and in Life.
Artificial intelligence is rapidly moving beyond experimentation and into everyday reality. It is changing how companies operate, how products are built, how people work, and how decisions are made. It is also reshaping how we learn, create, communicate, and live.
Where is AI creating measurable value today? What remains mostly hype? What happens as AI agents and increasingly capable systems become part of our businesses and our daily lives? And what should leaders, builders, investors, and individuals be thinking about now?
We’ll bring together founders, executives, investors, technologists, researchers, students, and business leaders for an evening examining AI from both sides of the equation: what it means for business and what it means for people.
Whether you are building AI, deploying it within an organization, investing in it, studying it, using it every day, or simply trying to understand what comes next, this event is an opportunity to learn, exchange ideas, and make meaningful connections with one of the world’s largest in-person AI communities during Boston AI Week.
What We’ll Explore
The conversation will span the rapidly evolving intersection of AI, business, technology, and everyday life, including:
Where businesses are creating measurable value from AI today
AI agents, automation, and the changing nature of work
How AI is reshaping products, services, and customer experiences
Building and scaling AI-native companies
What investors are seeing across the next generation of AI startups
The impact of AI on careers, education, creativity, and entrepreneurship
How people are incorporating AI into their everyday lives
Come bring your Unreal project to demo to others in the Boston Unreal community, and come ready to play other people's demos! We'll provide space for projects to be set up, shown and played, no presentation necessary. Afterwards will be time for general socializing and networking. Thank you to Disbelief for providing us with the space to meet!
