In a year dominated by conversations around
generative AI and climate change, the emerging technology event
returns this fall to examine the big ideas driving the
breakthroughs for business and society
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Aug. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- EmTech MIT, MIT Technology Review's flagship
emerging technologies event, returns in-person to the MIT campus, and online on September 30-October 1, 2024. The event,
historically, is the showcase for the innovative ideas and
technologies coming out of business, research, and academia, but
also where leaders come for practical guidance during a time when
AI and climate are influencing every business decision.
The 2024 program speaks to the accelerated rate of change
spurred by advancements in generative AI, climate technologies and
the green economy, and computing – three technologies intrinsically
tied to the future of business. The agenda for the two-day event
will explore the ideas fueling innovation and insights from
industry leaders:
- Leading with Innovation | Technology is reshaping
the world at a rapid rate and, for some, has surpassed businesses'
ability to keep pace. It's clear now that there are two forces that
must now be factored into every business decision: AI and climate
impact.
- The Front Lines of Change | Real-life case studies
reveal insights from those at the forefront of technology-driven
change. Hear firsthand experiences from individuals and
organizations navigating the rapid pace of innovation in real time
– how they adapt, overcome challenges, and harness new technologies
to drive progress.
In-person attendees get exclusive access to "Before the
Breakthroughs," a special set of sessions that will be held inside
MIT's classrooms and presented by
leading research faculty at the world-renowned Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Speakers scheduled to present this year at EmTech MIT
include:
- Ray Kurzweil, Principal Researcher and AI
Visionary, Google
