Aging is becoming an engineering problem. Multi-omic biomarkers. Longitudinal datasets at population scale. Foundation models trained on biological aging. Wearables and continuous monitoring feeding clinical-grade signal. Closed-loop intervention platforms.Aging is becoming an engineering problem. Multi-omic biomarkers. Longitudinal datasets at population scale. Foundation models trained on biological aging. Wearables and continuous monitoring feeding clinical-grade signal. Closed-loop intervention platforms. The same compute curve that rewrote software is now rewriting how we measure, model, and intervene on human aging. Boston is the operating system for this shift. MIT, Harvard, the Broad, the hospital network, and the densest concentration of longevity biotechs on the planet, all within a four-mile radius. During Boston Tech Week, the Aging Code Summit pulls that stack into one room. What you will see on stage: - Principal investigators from MIT and Harvard shipping the science behind epigenetic clocks, senescence biology, neurodegeneration pipelines, and immune aging - Founders and CSOs from the longevity companies turning that science into diagnostics, therapeutics, and active clinical trials - The AI and data teams building the models that will decide which interventions actually work, on which patients, and when - Investors and operators deploying capital into the next generation of healthspan companies No survey talks. No platitudes about "wellness." Technical depth, real data, and direct access to the people building the rails. The field has spent twenty years generating discoveries. The next ten are about deployment. This is the room where that happens.

Join First Star Ventures for a Boston Tech Week breakfast briefing designed specifically for limited partners evaluating deep tech exposure in their portfolios.Join First Star Ventures for a Boston Tech Week breakfast briefing designed specifically for limited partners evaluating deep tech exposure in their portfolios. Software VC playbooks don't map cleanly onto synthetic biology, energy, or robotics but these are precisely the categories where the next wave of massive, durable, defensible outcomes is being built. Technical risk profiles, capital intensity, time-to-revenue, and exit dynamics all look different in deep tech, and LPs allocating here need frameworks to reflect that. Over breakfast in Kendall Square (the densest square mile of deep tech innovation in the world), we'll cover: * Capital intensity and dilution in deep tech startups: truths and myths * Milestones that matter in early-stage, frontier technologies * Current signal from the Boston/Cambridge ecosystem across chips, bio, and energy Whether you're already allocating or still only evaluating, join us in Kendall Square to trade notes on what's working, what isn't, and what we're seeing across the deep tech ecosystem in Boston and beyond.

The same AI revolution that puts a Fortune 500 company's capabilities in your pocket is also being used by authoritarian regimes to build pre-crime models, deploy real-time facial recognition, surveil ethnic minorities, and extract data from the phones of dissidents.The same AI revolution that puts a Fortune 500 company's capabilities in your pocket is also being used by authoritarian regimes to build pre-crime models, deploy real-time facial recognition, surveil ethnic minorities, and extract data from the phones of dissidents. The question is not whether AI will shape the future of freedom - it's who will shape AI. Vibe Coding for Freedom is a full-day hackathon designed to answer that question practically, and put tools directly in the hands of the people who need them most. What you'll walk away with: You'll leave this day knowing how to use vibe coding tools to build the digital assets your organization actually needs - and understanding how AI can be both the threat and the solution when it comes to human freedom. The agenda covers two tracks: AI as a tool of repression - how regimes are using pre-crime modeling, facial recognition, ethnic minority tracking, and phone surveillance to build stronger police states, and what freedom advocates need to know. AI as a tool of liberation - how open-source, privacy-protecting agents, organizational scaling tools, activist-focused super-prompts, and freedom tech infrastructure (including Bitcoin and nostr) can give nonprofits and individuals inside dictatorships access to the world's best intelligence - safely and securely. This event is hands-on. You will try vibe coding yourself. No technical background required - that's the point. Who should attend: Anyone working at the intersection of technology and human freedom who wants to understand and use what's available right now. Space is limited. Attendance is free but requires approval. This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

Which means more people are building fast… and building the wrong things. This session is for founders who don’t want to waste months building something no one actually needs. In this interactive Problem Discovery Sprint, we’ll focus on what matters before any code is written: identifying real, high-impact problems worth solving. You’ll work through a structured process to: Break down real-world workflows and inefficiencies across industries like AI, healthcare, climate, and productivity Identify where time, money, and effort are being wasted today Separate “interesting ideas” from problems people will actually pay to solve This is not a panel or a lecture. It’s a working session designed to help you think clearly and move forward. By the end of the session, you’ll leave with: A clearly defined problem statement A specific target customer A concrete next step to validate your idea If you’ve been thinking about starting something but aren’t sure what’s actually worth building, this session will give you clarity.

The conversation will highlight how engineered tissues can better replicate human physiology, improve predictive testing, and open new pathways for regenerative medicine. Bringing together perspectives from science, engineering, and entrepreneurship, this event will provide a high-level look at where the field stands today and where it’s headed next. Join us for a fireside chat featuring Christopher S. Chen, a leading scientists in tissue engineering, mechanobiology, and tissue therapuetics. Dr. Chen is the William Fairfield Warren Distinguished Professor of Biomedical Engineering at Boston University, Founding Director of the Biological Design Center, and a Core Faculty member at the Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering. His work has helped shape the modern field of engineered tissues and microphysiological systems, advancing how researchers model human biology and develop regenerative therapies. Beyond academia, Dr. Chen has co-founded biotechnology companies translating tissue engineering into real-world therapeutics, including Satellite Bio, a company developing implantable tissue therapeutics for organ failure. He is also part of a recently awarded ARPA-H PRINT program initiative focused on engineering transplant-ready liver grafts and advancing the future of biofabricated organs. The conversation will be hosted by Ricky Solorzano, Founder and CEO of Linton Lifesciences, a Boston-based biofabrication company developing engineered vascular systems, tissue models, and regenerative medicine technologies. Ricky is a biofabrication entrepreneur and former co-founder of Allevi, acquired by 3D Systems, with a focus on translating bioprinting and tissue engineering technologies from the laboratory into scalable platforms. Together, the discussion will explore how biofabrication is bridging the gap between tissue models, implants, and regenerative therapeutics, the technologies enabling the next generation of organ engineering.

In the future we envision workflows comprised of multiple agents working within and across organizations on behalf of humans - this means multi-agent collaborations and negotiations that could occur simultaneously not just sequentially.In the future we envision workflows comprised of multiple agents working within and across organizations on behalf of humans - this means multi-agent collaborations and negotiations that could occur simultaneously not just sequentially. In this context understanding who are trusted humans (behind agents), what are loyal agents and how do we build ai systems that put humans not just in the loop but in the center is key.  It goes beyond identification and authentication and biometrics to understanding how agents can be trusted to act for humans especially in contexts that require nuance, compromise, optimization, or a firm no.  Join us for a thoughtful discussion of the challenges, opportunities and what people are building now with Beth Porter of C10 Labs and the Loyal Agents project, David Chang making VIA AI to rapidly find critical, trusted humans in your network, and Gabi Zijderveld of Blue Tulip Ventures on what it means to create Human-Centric AI. Moderated by Jennifer Jordan, Operating Partner at iGlobe Partners who works on AI trust and transparency with Foundation for Agentic Networks (FAN) and the MIT-born Project NANDA.

Most companies building with AI are flying blind on pricing. Not because the problem isn't real - but because no one person owns it. It touches engineering, product, finance, and sales all at once. That's exactly why it's so hard to get right. This is the only event at #BosTechWeek focused entirely on AI pricing strategy and implementation - and we're bringing together some of the best people in the space to talk through it with you. Come to ask the questions you can't Google, connect with others working through the same problems, and get answers from people who've actually done it. We'll cover: - How to figure out what pricing model is actually right for you - What breaks when you migrate from seat-based to usage-based pricing - How finance and product get real visibility into per-customer margins - Overage billing, threshold alerts, and the stuff nobody warns you about - When to go full consumption vs. platform + consumption - and how to hedge the risk - How to communicate pricing changes to customers without the backlash How the session runs: 12:00 - 12:30pm - Open networking with light snacks and refreshments 12:30 - 1:00pm - Panel-style facilitated conversation with our experts (whiteboard included). We'll open with the patterns we're seeing across the market, then open it up for Q&A - because 90% of people in the room are wrestling with the same questions. 1:00 - 2:00pm - Audience-guided breakouts. After the panel, you choose who you want to go deep with based on where you need help most. Your facilitators: - Peter Zotto - Founder of Trove, former founder of ProfitWell and Price Intelligently. Peter will cover why pricing matters more than most founders realize, how to build it as a repeatable core competency, and the business case for getting it right before it gets urgent. - Chris Conley - Founder, ex-Stripe (7 years, internal monetization and billing). Chris will cover the implementation details: pricing migrations, cohorting, communicating changes to customers, and what actually breaks when you switch models. - Alexa Gjonca - Monetization Strategy & Operations Lead at LocalStack, ex-ProfitWell. Alexa will cover how to identify what you're actually capturing value on, how to structure your charge around it, and how to get your systems to execute the pricing decisions you make. - CJ Cummings & Amelia Wampler - Co-founders of Limitr. We'll tie it all together from the infrastructure side - what it looks like to operationalize usage and outcome-based pricing in practice, and where the technical implementation either unlocks or kills your strategy. Limitr will have free resources available to take home - including a build-vs-buy checklist, pricing model templates, and a guide to the questions your team should be asking before you write a single line of billing logic. Snacks and drinks provided. Come ready to share. 📍 Venture Lane Startup Hub, Boston 🗓 May 26, 12:00 - 2:00pm EST This event is part of #BosTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

Across regulated enterprises, critical information still lives in PDFs, scans, forms, emails, policy documents, onboarding packets, claims files, clinical documents, compliance reports, and legacy records. These documents drive revenue, risk, service quality, compliance, and decision-making, but they are often handled through manual review, rekeying, reconciliation, and exception management. As AI adoption accelerates, the bottleneck is becoming clear. The challenge is not just applying models. It is creating trusted, structured, auditable data from messy real-world documents so automation can actually work in production. This lunch discussion will explore how forward-thinking teams are rethinking document-heavy operations, including: How wealth management firms can accelerate onboarding, client servicing, compliance review, and advisor operations How insurance organizations can improve submission intake, underwriting support, policy review, claims workflows, and renewal operations How pharmaceutical companies can streamline document-heavy workflows across compliance, quality, regulatory, clinical, and commercial operations We’ll discuss what it takes to move beyond basic OCR and extraction toward trusted document intelligence: data that is structured, validated, traceable, and ready to drive business workflows. Expect a practical, peer-driven conversation on where automation is creating real impact, where legacy approaches fall short, and how regulated organizations can unlock operational speed without sacrificing accuracy, control, or compliance. Join us for good food, sharp discussion, and a chance to connect with leaders working at the intersection of AI, operations, data, and regulated industry transformation.

As AI blurs the line between human and machine interaction, the lack of human-centric design is becoming a liability. Join us for an afternoon led by a powerhouse team of women in design as we bridge the gap between complex security and intuitive user experience. Heidi Trost, acclaimed human-centered design author and speaker, is joined by fellow VIA UI/UX experts, Annvie Nguyen and Courtney Brillhart, for a deep dive into how AI can transform security from a "barrier" into a seamless, personal experience. This is a hands-on design workshop where we’ll explore how VIA leverages AI to simplify high-stakes data workflows without compromising protection. As NSA experts have told us, great security exists. The issue is when it's too cumbersome so people choose to ignore it. What’s in store: The workshop: Learn actionable AI-design frameworks to make military-grade security feel human The "build your own ice cream sandwich" bar: To bring the concept of "individual fit" to life, engineer your own custom ice cream sandwich. Choose your base, your "encryption" (toppings), and your "core" (flavor) Book signing: Snag a copy of Heidi’s latest book, Human- Centered Security: How to Design Systems That Are Both Safe and Usable, and get it signed in person! Career networking: Interested in the future of design and AI? Explore open job opportunities and life at VIA Happy hour: Stick around from 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM for drinks to celebrate Boston Tech Week with the community This event is a part of #BosTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

A small, curated gathering for people who actually run growth during Boston Tech Week. This is not a networking event.A small, curated gathering for people who actually run growth during Boston Tech Week. This is not a networking event. It’s 10 - 15 operators - paid acquisition, lifecycle, analytics - trading notes on what’s working and what isn’t, without the usual surface-level conversations. No panels. No pitches. No presentations. Instead, the anchor is something simple but rare: Alphonso mangoes, widely considered the best mangoes in the world and only available for a short window each year (April - July). We’ll be hosting this at the beautiful offices of Funnel.io - an ideal setting for a small, high-signal room.

At Doxxing & Drinks, we’ll show you. Join Cloaked for an interactive Tech Week event at SPIN, the iconic ping pong bar, where we’re mixing privacy, play, and a little bit of paranoia (the useful kind). We’ll put your digital footprint to the test with real-world examples of how personal data gets exposed, how attackers connect the dots, and where you might be more vulnerable than you think. This isn’t a lecture. It’s a live, hands-on look at modern privacy risks, paired with drinks, food, ping pong, and a room full of people building (and protecting) the future of tech.

AI is a truly system design challenge that balances Compute, Storage and Network. With the inference market growing bigger than training, orchestration of these three infrastructure components is the key to Tokenomics driving the efficiency of every generated token.AI is a truly system design challenge that balances Compute, Storage and Network. With the inference market growing bigger than training, orchestration of these three infrastructure components is the key to Tokenomics driving the efficiency of every generated token. This presentation explores the critical journey of scaling AI infrastructure, tracing the evolution from pre-silicon design and multi-die chiplet architectures all the way to fully synchronized data center clusters and edge deployments. Because AI workloads push devices well beyond baseline specifications, small physical margins can quickly compound into network timeouts. A single dropped packet can spike tail latency, inflate Job Completion Time (JCT), and degrade GPU utilization. You will also learn how AI is scaling in all dimensions, called Scale X (Scale In, Scale Up, Scale Out, Scale Across, and Scale Above), all at once. We present the Challenges in each dimension and how hyper scalers are solving these challenges.

Most founders don’t fail because they can’t build. They fail because they build…in a vacuum. This event fixes that. We’re bringing together some of Boston’s earliest-stage startups for a night of real-time product testing, feedback, and beta user growth.Most founders don’t fail because they can’t build. They fail because they build…in a vacuum. This event fixes that. We’re bringing together some of Boston’s earliest-stage startups for a night of real-time product testing, feedback, and beta user growth. This is not a presentation or panel: it’s a startup showcase. Founders will be set up at dedicated stations around the room, where they’ll demo what they’ve built, ask for specific feedback, and invite attendees to sign up as early users for their MVP or Beta List. You’ll walk around, try products, talk directly to founders, and (if you like it) become an early user. Think: part startup showcase, part user research lab. What to expect: - 15 early-stage startups demoing live products + prototypes - Founders actively asking for feedback (not just pitching) - A room full of operators, builders, and curious users - Opportunities to join beta lists and get early access For founders: This is your chance to pressure test your product, refine your messaging, and hear what people actually think, before you scale it. For attendees: You’ll get a first look at what’s being built across Boston and a chance to shape it. Your feedback isn’t just welcomed, it’s the point. This is NOT a pitch competition, it’s where products get better. This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

🩸Every founder, investor, and executive has at least one AI story they haven’t shared publicly - moments where trust broke, systems failed, or something felt just slightly off.🩸Every founder, investor, and executive has at least one AI story they haven’t shared publicly - moments where trust broke, systems failed, or something felt just slightly off. 👹AI is already reshaping trust inside companies, deals, and decision-making - and most teams aren’t prepared for what’s coming. 🔥The evening opens with a frontline expert unpacking the emerging Darkside of AI. Then the mic opens. A curated group of 50 founders, investors, and executives share short, off-the-record stories: near misses, quiet failures, and patterns you won’t hear on stage. The audience votes live. The best story will get the prize! 🏆 ♦️Hosted by Darkside AI (www.darksideai.io) - a global initiative helping leaders build resilience against next‑generation AI threats.

Join Driver AI for an exclusive evening reception during Boston Tech Week, bringing together AI founders, investors, and engineering leaders working on the hardest problems in agentic development. Robust context engineering is as important as model reasoning in agentic coding.Join Driver AI for an exclusive evening reception during Boston Tech Week, bringing together AI founders, investors, and engineering leaders working on the hardest problems in agentic development. Robust context engineering is as important as model reasoning in agentic coding. When critical context is missed, no amount of downstream reasoning can recover the lost signal, and existing retrieval-based solutions weren't designed to solve this. Featured Session Daniel Hensley, CTO and Co-founder of Driver AI, will explain why a compiler-based architecture is the right solution to address the inevitable context chasm that AI coding agents face. By pre-computing exhaustive, high signal-to-noise context, Driver AI transforms agentic coding from a probabilistic guess into a reliable, deterministic process. About Your Host Backed by YC and Google Ventures, Driver is the rigorous, pre-compiled context layer that brings deterministic performance to agentic coding at scale. Learn more at driver.ai.

For one night, we're trading all of that for the good, the bad, and the ugly.You've never been to a mixer like this one. Forget the highlight reel. Forget the rehearsed pitch and the superhero LinkedIn post. For one night, we're trading all of that for the good, the bad, and the ugly. Boston founders get on stage and share the pivoting moment - the night the deal fell through, the morning they realized the product was wrong, the quiet decision to start over. 7 minutes each. Vulnerable. A little embarrassing. Funnier than you'd expect. Every story is a lesson somebody paid full price for. You sit back. You laugh. Maybe wince. Then catch yourself nodding. By the time the mixer kicks in, the networking dance is dead. You're just catching up with people you actually want to know. 🎯 Why You Should Attend Hear the version founders don't save for the panel circuit. Get the lesson without paying full tuition. Feel the room loosen up - once one person tells the truth, everybody stops auditioning. 🙋 Who's Getting In This Room Founders actively building. Not circling the idea. People at a pivoting moment, ready to make a real move.

Venture Lane - a curated startup hub for early-stage B2B tech founders, built around human connection and focused programming across capital, customers, talent, and product.

Join us for dinner at the best Brazilian Steakhouse in Boston along with other Founders and CTOs navigating how AI is reshaping the way teams are built and scaled. ​Honest conversations about talent strategy, what's actually working, where things break down, who you're really hiring for in 2026, rarely happen in public. This is a space for that. ​We'll sit down with a handful of peers already rethinking their engineering org: how they're balancing speed with quality, where nearshore fits (or doesn't), and how AI is changing expectations on both sides of the hire. ​No slides. No pitches. Just a candid dinner with people working through the same questions you are. Seats are limited and curated. ​​This is invite-only. Request access by applying via the RSVP form.

Some companies fail because of market changes. Others fail because they run out of money or can’t execute fast enough. Now more than ever, companies break before they even realize what’s happening.Some companies fail because of market changes. Others fail because they run out of money or can’t execute fast enough. Now more than ever, companies break before they even realize what’s happening. They hire the wrong people, avoid hard conversations, trust the wrong signals, and build systems that quietly compound bad decisions. Now AI is accelerating all of it. As part of Boston Tech Week, Dune IRL is partnering with Merraine Group and Galileo to host a candid conversation about scaling the right teams, both human and agentic. Joining the conversation is Mike Lazerow, co-founder of Buddy Media (acquired by Salesforce for $745m) and an active investor who has built and scaled teams through real inflection points. This won’t be another boilerplate “future of AI” panel. We’ll talk about bad hires, fragile systems, leadership mistakes, AI masking dysfunction, and signals most people ignore until it’s too late. Expect sharp perspectives, honest stories, and practical insights from people who’ve made these decisions with real stakes. Followed by a curated networking session with founders and operators actively building and hiring. 6:00pm - 6:30pm Welcome 6:30pm - 7:15pm Panel 7:15pm - 8:00pm Networking Dune IRL connects founder and investor-focused events with sponsors, and helps sponsors assess which events are worth their time and money.

FIRST ROUND OF APPLICATIONS REVIEW: May 12th SECOND (& FINAL) ROUND OF APPLICATIONS REVIEW: May 20th This event is a hackathon. Apply if you want to *build* the future of healthcare, for a full day.FIRST ROUND OF APPLICATIONS REVIEW: May 12th SECOND (& FINAL) ROUND OF APPLICATIONS REVIEW: May 20th This event is a hackathon. Apply if you want to *build* the future of healthcare, for a full day. Healthcare has some of the hardest problems in the world. Boston Protocol is where you actually build solutions to them. On May 27th, as part of Boston Tech Week, ElevenLabs and The FOMO Group are bringing together engineers, builders, clinicians, doctors, patients, and caregivers for a single focused day of co-creation. The problems are real. The people in the room lived them. And what gets built could change how care is delivered. Why This Room Is Different Most hackathons put engineers in a room with an API. We're putting engineers in a room with the people who've lived the problem. Patients, caregivers, and patient advocates will be co-creating alongside technical builders all day. Clinicians and professors from Stanford, MIT, and Harvard will open the day sharing real cases from their practice, then stay available to every team throughout the build. ElevenLabs is bringing voice AI into the room. From clinical documentation to patient-facing interfaces, accessible care tools to real-time medical translation - voice is one of the most underused and highest-impact surfaces in healthcare. Teams will have access to the ElevenLabs to build throughout the day. This is what it looks like when the people who understand the problem and the people who can build the solution are in the same room at the same time. If you are an engineer or builder, this is your chance to work on problems that actually matter, guided by world-class clinicians and researchers who will tell you exactly what is broken and why nothing has fixed it yet. If you are a clinician, doctor, researcher, or professor, this is your chance to get a working prototype built around a problem you care about, in a single day, by talented technical builders who will listen. If you are a patient, caregiver, or patient advocate, this is your chance to put your lived experience at the center of the design process, not as an afterthought. Your voice shapes what gets built. The judging panel includes investors, practicing clinicians, and leaders from Anthropic, Oura, Stanford Spezi, MIT, and Harvard. The people evaluating your work are also the people you want to know. This event is selective. Spots are limited and reviewed. Apply only if you are committed to the full day. Free for all accepted participants.

This gathering is designed to create space for meaningful conversations and high-quality connections in a relaxed, thoughtful setting. While the event is open to RSVP, we aim to bring together a highly intentional group of participants to ensure a strong, relevant mix of founders and investors. Rather than traditional networking, the focus is on building real relationships - sharing experiences, perspectives on fundraising, and insights into navigating the startup ecosystem. Expect a room of ambitious builders and investors, honest conversations, and connections that go beyond surface-level introductions. Whether you are actively raising, investing, or simply expanding your network, this breakfast is an opportunity to meet people who can become long-term partners in your journey. ✨ Come ready to engage, share, and build relationships that last beyond the room. Breakfast is supported by Connexa -an intelligence layer for professional relationships. At conferences and networking events, people meet hundreds of contacts, but the context behind those connections is quickly lost in LinkedIn lists. Connexa captures that context through LinkedIn QR scanning, business card capture, and quick voice or text notes, turning contacts into a searchable relationship memory.

Massachusetts issued the colony's first coin in 1652. It was an audacious act that challenged who controls money. Today, stablecoins reopen the debate. Are programmable digital dollars a breakthrough?Massachusetts issued the colony's first coin in 1652. It was an audacious act that challenged who controls money. Today, stablecoins reopen the debate. Are programmable digital dollars a breakthrough? How are they being used in banking to unlock faster payments, new revenue, and sticky deposits? Or are they a quiet run on the banking system in code? As stablecoins move from crypto markets into mainstream finance, the stakes are no longer theoretical and questions abound. How are banks thinking about this and how is the ecosystem of startups coming to life to bridge TradFi and DeFi? Who guards the peg? What happens when venture-backed speed collides with market stability? And how might an agentic AI-powered financial system amplify the impact? Join us for a candid discussion with folks on the frontlines on whether stablecoins are infrastructure or disruption at monetary scale. Speakers: - Moderated by Stephen MacLeod, Boston Business Journal - Stephen Gardner, Chief Legal Officer, zerohash - Grant Butler, Partner at Reed Smith - Verina Youssef, VP of Crypto Relationship Management, First Citizens Bank (SVB) - Emmett Shipman, Fintech Strategy and Growth, Wolf & Company Hosted by Fintech Sandbox and Wolf & Co.

Where Does the Talent Go? Making Sense of Tech Careers in the AI Shakeup Every week there's a new LinkedIn post from someone who says they cut their team from 50 to 2 using AI. The comments go wild.Where Does the Talent Go? Making Sense of Tech Careers in the AI Shakeup Every week there's a new LinkedIn post from someone who says they cut their team from 50 to 2 using AI. The comments go wild. Half the replies are "this is the future" and the other half are "this is short sighted". Nobody's actually unpacking what's true, what's noise, and what it means for the people building careers in tech right now. That's what this conversation is about. We're bringing together operators, founders, and investors who are close enough to the shift to see what's actually happening. Not the PR version and certainly not the engagement-bait on social version. Who's getting hired (and why), who's getting cut, what teams actually look like on the other side, and how experienced tech professionals can prep themselves to win in this new world. We're bringing together a small, sharp panel followed by real conversation. Meet the panel: Mike Gutner, Chief People Officer at Toast, Inc. Sharon Pollard, VP of People & Culture at CloudZero Kelley Morse, Chief People Officer at Bullhorn Peter Zotto, CEO & Founder at Trove Come with questions you'd ask a friend in the industry over coffee, not the ones you'd ask on a webinar.

How it runs: • Panel discussion (20 min) - moderated by a current BU student, the three alums compare the turning points, trade-offs, and decisions that shaped their paths • Small-group rotations (15 min each) - attendees split into three groups, each matched with one panelist for a close-up conversation, then rotate so everyone gets time with all three • Food and refreshments - stick around to keep the conversation going Panelists Brian Zitin (CAS'17) - Co-Founder & CEO, Reggora Brian met his co-founder as a randomly assigned BU roommate. Together they built a real estate brokerage out of their dorm, spotted the inefficiencies in the mortgage appraisal process, and founded Reggora in 2017. Now eight years in, Reggora has raised $45M, counts seven of the top ten U.S. homebuilders as customers, and recently launched a 24-hour appraisal solution backed by an $18M round. Brian was named to the Forbes 30 Under 30 list in 2020. Johar Singh (Questrom'24) - President & Chief Product Officer, HomeTeams Johar built Astra Wellbeing - an SMS-based platform to reduce healthcare worker burnout through peer recognition - while a student at Questrom, inspired by watching his mother work as a frontline ICU physician during COVID-19. Astra won multiple national startup competitions, secured backing from the Massachusetts Health & Hospital Association, and was named a Top 20 global team in the 2024 Microsoft Imagine Cup. Earlier this year, Astra was acquired by HomeTeams in a seven-figure deal, and Johar now leads the combined product vision as President and CPO. Niyi Oyeniyi (ENG'20) - Founder, Dialysis-X Niyi is building Dialysis-X, a medtech startup developing a needle-free vascular access device for the roughly two million Americans on dialysis. Traditional needle cannulation causes serious complications and drives significant costs for providers - Dialysis-X's implant-and-cap system aims to make dialysis safer, easier, and viable at home. Dialysis-X was an Innovate@BU NVC finalist in 2021 and went on to win the Quin Impact Fund and Discovery Prize from MassChallenge.

Scaling Founder-Led Sales on LinkedIn A practical workshop on building and operationalizing founder-led LinkedIn outreach 📅 Wednesday, May 27, 2026 ⏰ 12 PM ET 📍 Virtual (Zoom) A lot of founders are doing outbound inconsistently or are trying to automate...Scaling Founder-Led Sales on LinkedIn A practical workshop on building and operationalizing founder-led LinkedIn outreach 📅 Wednesday, May 27, 2026 ⏰ 12 PM ET 📍 Virtual (Zoom) A lot of founders are doing outbound inconsistently or are trying to automate before the messaging is actually working. And honestly, a lot of LinkedIn outreach right now is bad... we all know why! People are over-automating, sending generic messaging, and scaling outreach that was never positioned well to begin with. This workshop is focused on how to actually structure founder-led outreach in a way that still feels personal while being operationally manageable long term. I’ll walk through the systems, messaging philosophy, campaign organization, and automation workflows I use across consulting clients to manage LinkedIn prospecting and outbound. We’ll also talk about where founders tend to get stuck, common mistakes with automation tools, and how to think about outbound as an evolving process rather than a one-time setup. What we’ll cover 1. Founder-led sales on LinkedIn: what actually works -Why founder outreach performs differently -Common messaging mistakes founders make -The mindset shift from “selling” to supporting 2. Building and organizing your prospect list -How to curate higher-quality LinkedIn prospect lists -Why ICP alignment matters before automating outreach -What founders often get wrong about volume 3. Structuring scalable outreach systems -How to operationalize LinkedIn outreach workflows -Cadence structure and campaign organization -Connection requests, follow-ups, and sequencing philosophy -Why campaign maintenance matters more than people think 4. Messaging that gets responses -Why “you-focused” messaging performs better -How to position around the buyer’s goals and problems -Clear calls-to-action that convert into meetings 5. Automation tools and real-world workflow examples -How I use automation tools like Dripify within outbound systems -Common automation mistakes that quietly hurt results -Why bad messaging scaled is still bad outreach 6. Optimizing over time -Why outreach systems should evolve every few weeks -How to evaluate what’s working -Real examples of improving outbound activity and engagement across client accounts Who this is for: -Founders leading their own sales efforts -Early-stage operators building outbound systems -Consultants and fractionals supporting GTM execution -Anyone trying to create more consistent pipeline through LinkedIn outreach What you’ll walk away with: -A clearer framework for founder-led LinkedIn outreach -A more scalable way to organize outbound efforts -Messaging principles that improve response quality A better understanding of how automation should support, not replace, relationship-building.

By application only. Capacity: 20. "AI is the next Industrial Revolution." The phrase has become cliché. It's also not wrong. The problem is everyone is talking about the AI itself.By application only. Capacity: 20. "AI is the next Industrial Revolution." The phrase has become cliché. It's also not wrong. The problem is everyone is talking about the AI itself. Few are talking about the industries around it in a meaningfully coherent way. What are the inputs/outputs? What massive changes will we see there? Like the first Industrial Revolution, we need to be prepared for how AI is going to fundamentally transform our economy and industries in ways we probably can’t easily predict. Mineral scarcity? How do we fix that? Energy transformation? How do we fix that? Massive labor displacement? How do we fix that? Sudden and accelerating wealth inequality? How do we fix that? Water? How do we fix that? On and on and on… The AI Table is a closed-door lunch during the first-ever Boston Tech Week, convening the founders building it, the investors funding it, and the operators inside the institutions that have to absorb it. One question goes to the table. Everyone answers. No panels. No decks. No pitching. What happens in the room stays in the room. Convened by Quantum Alliance, the talent and capital network across the full AI stack. Co-hosted with the Massachusetts AI Hub, the Commonwealth's flagship AI initiative connecting Boston's research institutions, innovation ecosystem, and private capital. Every seat is individually reviewed and confirmed. Approved guests will receive the venue address and guest list preview 48 hours before the event.

We're hosting a small lunch in Boston to talk about company building. Twenty founders, early-stage marketers, and operators.We're hosting a small lunch in Boston to talk about company building. Twenty founders, early-stage marketers, and operators. No agenda other than a real conversation about where AI actually fits into the way early teams work - and where it doesn't. We'll look at some of what Adobe is building for teams like yours, get into the actual friction points that slow companies down, and hear from a couple of partners who run creative and ops at a leading brand agency and venture studio. This is also something of a first conversation. Adobe for Startups is early, and we want to build it with the people who'd actually use it. So if you have opinions about what tools are useful, what's overhyped, and what you actually need, we want to hear them.

Unlike most conversations about AI in higher education, this session moves beyond theory and predictions into active design.Unlike most conversations about AI in higher education, this session moves beyond theory and predictions into active design. Hosted by the Future of Higher Ed (FOHE) Boston in partnership with IDEO, the event brings together students, faculty, institutional leaders, and EdTech founders for a hands-on exploration of how AI is actually shaping the student experience and how students believe it should be. What makes this session distinct is its starting point: students. The program opens with an undergraduate student-only panel that surfaces real tensions, unmet needs, and opportunities emerging on campus today. From there, participants shift into mixed-role design teams to co-create practical, student-centered solutions for an AI-enabled future of learning. This is not a passive conversation. It is a working session grounded in real challenges, designed to generate actionable ideas and new ways of thinking about implementation, access, and impact. Participants will leave not just with perspective, but with concrete insights and at least one idea they can take back and apply within their own institution or organization.

This panel brings together leaders at the forefront of AI governance to explore a critical shift: governance is no longer about policy documents. It’s about traceability, accountability, and the ability to defend decisions in real time. As regulatory pressure increases and AI adoption accelerates, organizations that cannot inspect and justify their AI-driven decisions will face real risk. Join senior leaders, builders, and operators for a candid discussion on what AI governance actually looks like in practice - from enterprise implementation to board-level accountability. If you're responsible for deploying, overseeing, or investing in AI, this conversation will challenge how you think about control, risk, and execution.

Despite the effort, critical insights still slip through the cracks - and rising costs continue to outpace strategy. What You'll Discover In this session, we'll explore how Avenir AI's intelligent agents are transforming that process, turning complex benefits data into instant, decision-ready analysis that pinpoints cost drivers with precision and speed. You'll see live examples of how AI surfaces insights in minutes that would take analysts weeks to uncover. Who Should Attend Employee benefits and HR leaders CFOs and finance leaders Brokers and benefits consultants Total rewards professionals Whether you're managing a plan, advising clients, or rethinking your benefits strategy, come see how AI is reshaping the way we uncover what's really behind rising costs.

We use rapid AI-assisted builds to test ideas with real users before investing in a full product cycle. It's how we validate fast, skip the guesswork, and get to something tangible before anyone writes a line of production code. We're pulling back the curtain on that process, live, in front of you. Alec and Mark are the founders of VisualBoston, a full-service design and development agency. They work with teams solving real, complex problems, the kind where getting it right actually matters, and help them use AI to move faster, think more creatively, and build things that actually work. They'll take a product idea, yours if you bring one, from sketch to working deployed app in 30 minutes. Design and engineering running at the same time, the way modern teams actually ship. This is a fun way to see what's possible and peek under the hood. What you'll see: - A product idea turned into a PRD in minutes with AI - Design and engineering running simultaneously, not sequentially - Real imagery and UI come together into a working, deployed app- This event is a part of #BosTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

CPMs are up, attribution is gutted, and the old playbook of spending more on Meta and Google is producing diminishing returns.Customer acquisition costs are climbing across every channel.

Join us on a beautiful rooftop in Fenway for a panel and networking event bringing together the founders building the next generation of ecomm tools and the agencies implementing them. We'll cover both sides of the equation: how brands are driving traffic without burning cash, and how they're converting that traffic at higher rates once it lands. Agenda Panel 5:30 - 6:30pm Elijah Khasabo, Founder @ Vidovo Cameron Burns, Head of Growth @ Remark Kelsey Capps, Product @ Klaviyo Evan Wiecha, Senior Director of Strategic Partnerships @ 829 Studios Vanessa Christensen, UGC Creator for brands like Canva, Amazon, Twix, and more Drinks + Networking 6:30 - 8:00pm Cocktails and apps on the 14th floor rooftop terrace with skyline views.

What if the hardest test for physical intelligence isn't a surgical suite - but performative art?What if the hardest test for physical intelligence isn't a surgical suite - but performative art? Art at the Edge of Physical AI is a fireside exploring what physical AI can truly do through the lenses of art: the dexterity, improvisation, and hardware it would take for a robot to co-create a room-scale botanical sculpture live on stage - and how those same frontier capabilities map directly to what's being built for industries. About the host: Peter is a physical AI investor at Climactic and an artist creating sculptures that are alive. His large-scale botanical works have been shown at the San Francisco Asian Art Museum, City Hall, and Fort Mason. He's developing a 2027 stage performance with robots; this fireside is where the thinking happens out loud.

Join Founders Pledge at Boston’s eye-popping Museum of Ice Cream to celebrate the inaugural Boston Tech Week with a candid panel, "Impact by Design: Embedding Purpose into the Founder Journey," featuring founders who’ve thought deeply about how to integrate purpose, philanthropy and long-term impact throughout the process of building, not just at the point of exit. We’ll explore how building companies shaped how they think about their larger purpose, what it means to move beyond the traditional idea of “giving back”, and how founders can approach philanthropy with the same ambition, rigor and intentionality they bring to their founder role. Together we’ll create an intimate space to connect with a community of founders committed to embedding purpose into success from day one and cool off with frozen treats (dairy ice cream and dairy-free options will be available!). read more  ·  Original Link ↗

The leaders building Boston's hardest tech aren't meeting at conferences - they're meeting over dinner.The leaders building Boston's hardest tech aren't meeting at conferences - they're meeting over dinner. A curated table of CTOs, VPEs, and CPTOs from companies like Whoop, CloudZero, and Markforged, wrestling with the question nobody's fully answered yet: where does product end and engineering begin when AI rewrites the rules? AI isn't just changing what your teams build - it's dismantling the walls between *who* builds and *who* decides what gets built. Product and engineering are bleeding into each other faster than anyone predicted, and the leaders who figure out the new shape first will pull ahead of everyone else. We'll dig in with thoughtful discussion: Are integrated builder teams the future or a fantasy? How are you reworking your SDLC? What org design changes are you making right now - what are you theorizing about? This is a seated dinner at Committee in the Seaport - an intentional room of leaders from ambitious Boston tech companies. No panels. No keynotes. Just sharp people and honest conversation.

Boston does not get enough credit. When people talk about startup cities, it is always New York and San Francisco. Boston gets dismissed as a college town with great hospitals. That is lazy.Boston does not get enough credit. When people talk about startup cities, it is always New York and San Francisco. Boston gets dismissed as a college town with great hospitals. That is lazy. Boston is quietly producing some of the most fundable and defensible startups in the country. The city has world-class research institutions, deep biotech and SaaS talent, and a cost structure that still gives founders a better shot at keeping equity instead of lighting it on fire. The ecosystem is tighter. The networks are more accessible. The builders care more about substance than hype. 🎯 Why You Should Attend -Hear why some founders chose Boston on purpose and why others moved there to build. -Get a clearer read on what the city actually does well for startup operators. -Understand where Boston gives founders an edge, and where it still falls short. -Meet builders who care more about real company building than looking important online. 🙋 Who's Getting In This Room -Boston founders and startup operators -SaaS, biotech, AI, and deep tech builders -Investors and ecosystem leaders active in the city -Founders deciding where to build their next chapter -People who want the good, the bad, and the ugly of the Boston startup scene 🎤 Who's on the Panel Steve Dow - Founder & CEO of Monit Steve Dow is a financial services veteran turned fintech founder and CEO.

Expect great conversation, food, drinks, and a chance to connect with practitioners across every level of the field. AI is changing what skills matter, what roles look like, and how hiring decisions get made, but nobody's talking straight about it. Our moderator will sit down with a panel of cybersecurity practitioners from CISO to SOC analyst, working at hyperscalers, financial institutions and security startups, for a candid 45-minute panel on what it actually takes to break in, level up, and stand out in the new era of hiring. After the panel: live music, catered food and drinks, and open networking for the rest of the night, surrounded by unique art pieces that AI could never generate.

Fewer can clearly articulate who it’s truly for. Even fewer have intentionally designed how that user will recognize, trust, and engage with it. This session is about closing the gap, before that great idea becomes just a good idea. Using live song overlays, you’ll experience what user alignment feels like, before we translate it into the diagnostic work. ----- This working session combines a short musical activation with a live diagnostic to help you identify your target user types, begin to explore what shapes their decisions, and consider what lands in their world, not just yours. Together we’ll explore why some ideas scale while others stall…and the difference between attention and alignment. Designed for: • Founders and builders • Operators and strategists • Ecosystem builders • Creatives building products or platforms Led by a musical theatre writer and engagement strategist, with 12+ years of experience translating across internal and external stakeholders in biotech, this session focuses on the layer that determines whether something gets understood, trusted, and adopted, sustainably. You’ll leave with a drafted User Identity Framework and a stronger foundation for how people encounter and engage with what you’re building. "People don’t stay simply because they were convinced. They stay because of alignment." ~ NU A curated session. Limited capacity. This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

Founders who can articulate their story in a compelling way open more doors with the media and with investors.

Sleep, recovery, and resilience are not just wellness priorities.Most people know they are leaving performance on the table. In a world that rewards sustained output, the edge increasingly comes from how well you recover, focus, and adapt over time. Sleep, recovery, and resilience are not just wellness priorities. They are foundational inputs into both peak performance and long-term health. The science has been clear for years. Now, technology and AI are accelerating how quickly data becomes insight, and how quickly insight turns into action. RISE is a breakfast gathering for founders, operators, and investors who want to go deeper on what high performance actually requires, not just in moments, but over time. Over breakfast, we will explore the inputs that compound quietly: starting with sleep, moving into recovery and inflammation, and expanding into the tools making performance and longevity more measurable and actionable than ever. Join us for a thoughtful conversation, practical insights, and a chance to connect with others building at the intersection of performance, health, and technology. Speakers to date: N.B.

A hackathon competition pushing the boundaries of autonomous scientific research. Teams will build systems of specialized AI agents that hypothesize, experiment, and discover with minimal human intervention.A hackathon competition pushing the boundaries of autonomous scientific research. Teams will build systems of specialized AI agents that hypothesize, experiment, and discover with minimal human intervention. Each team will create two agents: a Run Agent that generates hypotheses, runs experiments, and produces research papers, and a Review Agent that critiques papers from other teams’ agents. All agents will be released into a live shared ecosystem alongside every other team’s agents, where they will write, review, and iterate autonomously. Teams will compete to build the most capable autonomous research system, with final judging based on the quality, creativity, rigor, and scientific promise of their agents’ work. We recommend teams of 4 - 5 people. Participants may come with a team or form one at the event. This event is for researchers and engineers working across agentic AI, scientific reasoning, multi-agent systems, and computational biology. If you’re building at the frontier of AI-driven science, this is the room to be in. Bring a laptop; we’ll provide the challenge, judging criteria, and technical setup at the start of the event.

AI has permeated government systems, from Medicaid operations, national defense, and local infrastructure and public safety, but the path from pilot to production is still uneven, opaque, and often misunderstood.AI has permeated government systems, from Medicaid operations, national defense, and local infrastructure and public safety, but the path from pilot to production is still uneven, opaque, and often misunderstood. This panel brings together founders, operators, and investors working directly at the intersection of AI and the public sector to unpack what’s happening on the ground. The conversation will focus on how AI is being adopted across different levels of government; how procurement and decision-making processes are evolving; and what it really takes for companies to sell, deploy, and scale within these systems. We’ll cover where AI is gaining traction today, where deals stall, and what founders consistently get wrong when approaching government customers. The goal is a clear-eyed view into a market that is large, complex, and increasingly central to how AI reaches real-world impact.

Most B2B companies are running outbound the same way they were five years ago: SDRs combing through LinkedIn, manually building lists, writing sequences one contact at a time, and logging everything by hand.Most B2B companies are running outbound the same way they were five years ago: SDRs combing through LinkedIn, manually building lists, writing sequences one contact at a time, and logging everything by hand. It is slow, inconsistent, and it breaks every time someone on the team leaves. The result is a pipeline problem that most revenue teams have accepted as inevitable. CAC keeps rising. Response rates keep falling. And the board keeps asking why the pipeline coverage ratio is not where it needs to be. It does not have to work this way. At Tech Week Boston 2026, Hamlet Azarian, Founder and CEO of Azarian Growth Agency, will demo, live and in real time, the autonomous agent system his team has built and deployed for B2B companies. Not a concept. Not a recorded walkthrough. A working system, running in the session, building a real pipeline from a real ICP. The system is built on three agents that operate in sequence. The first agent maps your total addressable market and scores each one against live intent signals to identify who is actively looking for a solution right now. The second agent identifies the exact decision makers to target at each company: title, seniority, department, contact. No SDR hours. No manual research. The third agent builds a full persona for each decision maker and generates a personalized outreach sequence: not a template, a message written specifically for that person at that company. Together, these agents do what an SDR team spends most of their time doing, and they do it faster, at higher volume, and with more consistency than any human workflow can produce at scale. Azarian Growth Agency has built and deployed 91 agents across client engagements. This session is the proof. You will see the TAM builder identify companies that match your criteria. You will see the decision maker finder pull the right contacts in seconds. You will see a fully personalized outreach sequence generated, ready to send, before the session ends. This session is designed so that by the end of the hour, you have a clear answer to one question: what would my pipeline look like next quarter if this system were running for my company? If you are a VC-backed founder spending money on SDRs and not hitting pipeline targets, a VP of Sales watching outbound response rates collapse, or a PE or VC operator evaluating GTM efficiency across portfolio companies, this session was built for you. Seats are limited. The live demo format means this session cannot be replicated on replay the same way. Register now to secure your spot.

A light-lunch founder salon during Boston Tech Week for B2B AI/data founders and product leaders creating next-generation analytics, BI, and intelligence products with data.A light-lunch founder salon during Boston Tech Week for B2B AI/data founders and product leaders creating next-generation analytics, BI, and intelligence products with data. **Capped at 12 participants; free.** AI has made it easier than ever to build impressive demos, copilots, dashboards, agents, and prototypes. But faster building does not automatically make an analytical product easier to understand, evaluate, trust, adopt, or buy. This is a small, facilitated lunch conversation with Brian T. O'Neill, host of the top-2% "Experiencing Data" podcast, specifically for B2B AI, BI, and analytics founders and product leaders who are wrestling with questions like: * Why aren’t prospects “getting it” in the demo? * Why do POCs stall or fail to convert? * How do you balance the competing needs of fiscal buyers and end users in B2B settings? * If the product has powerful analytical intelligence, why aren’t more users adopting it? * How do you help buyers and users trust that your product’s intelligence or automation is actually good for them? WHAT TO BRING One place where your product’s value is not landing as clearly as it should - in the sales process, demo, POC, onboarding, or end user workflow (i.e. UX). No panels. No pitches. Just a candid, useful conversation with people building and selling complex B2B data products. Light lunch included. Capacity is intentionally limited. Chatham House Rules will apply! WHO IS THIS FOR: B2B software founders and heads of product building AI/BI, analytics, and decision support products. NOT A FIT/NOT PERMITTED: * Mainly looking for general networking, recruiting, or fundraising * Interested primarily in technical implementation/how-to discussions * Agencies/service firms/integration partners/consultants * ICs in delivery/implementation roles This event is a part of #BosTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

Decision Drag is the hidden leadership bottleneck slowing many high-growth companies. It happens when decisions appear to be made but never fully land - creating loops of re-discussion, misalignment, and invisible operational friction that drains momentum across teams.Decision Drag is the hidden leadership bottleneck slowing many high-growth companies. It happens when decisions appear to be made but never fully land - creating loops of re-discussion, misalignment, and invisible operational friction that drains momentum across teams. In this session, executive decision strategist Kim Groshek introduces the concept of Decision Drag and the leadership operating model behind it: UN-DECISION → Decision Containment → Calm Momentum. Leaders will learn how unresolved authority, unclear ownership, and open decision loops quietly stall execution - even in fast-moving organizations. Through real leadership scenarios and practical frameworks, founders, operators, and senior leaders will walk away with a simple way to identify decision drag inside their own companies and a method for containing decisions so momentum can return to the work that actually moves the business forward. 🚀 This event is a part of #BOSTechWeek - a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem.

AI agents are racing into HR, finance, sales, and ops, but most “agent platforms” have one fatal flaw: once an agent is live, almost no one can explain or control what it can actually touch.AI agents are racing into HR, finance, sales, and ops, but most “agent platforms” have one fatal flaw: once an agent is live, almost no one can explain or control what it can actually touch. This workshop shows how Karini’s agentic AI foundation builds a real zero trust perimeter around agents so they can safely operate across the entire enterprise without blowing up security, compliance, or reputational risk. You will see live, no‑BS examples of multi team agent meshes, HR and payroll automations, and CRM sales copilots that inherit the user’s identity, enforce least privilege, and log every decision. We break down inbound control (who can invoke which agents, with which roles) and outbound control (what those agents can see and do) using identity propagation, role based access to tools and data, per user OAuth scopes, and human checkpoints where it matters. Investors will see why secure, governable agent meshes are the next defensible layer in the AI stack, not just another feature. Business leaders will walk out with a mental model and a checklist they can take to their CISO and board. Builders will leave with patterns they can implement now, and a clear view of why Karini is the only platform that treats security, governance, and speed as a single product, not a tradeoff.

EVENT SUMMARY Most biotech founders don't realize Australia has a faster regulatory path, R&D tax incentives, and world-class trial infrastructure - all while generating FDA-accepted data.EVENT SUMMARY Most biotech founders don't realize Australia has a faster regulatory path, R&D tax incentives, and world-class trial infrastructure - all while generating FDA-accepted data. This intimate Lunch & Learn brings experienced advisors into the room to break down exactly how (and when) to structure early-stage clinical trials down under. Application-based, limited seats, lunch served. FULL DESCRIPTION You've got a promising therapeutic (or device) but you're burning runway waiting on an IND filing. Meanwhile, founders who know the playbook are running Phase I/II trials in Australia - faster enrollment, streamlined regulatory approvals, and an R&D tax incentive that effectively returns up to 43.5 cents on every dollar spent subject to meeting qualifying criteria. This isn't a surface-level overview. It's a working session built for biotech founders and senior operators who are actively planning (or considering) early-stage clinical trials and want to understand a path most U.S. companies overlook. Experienced advisors who've structured Australian trials for U.S.-based biotechs will walk through the real mechanics: - when Australia actually makes sense versus when it doesn't; - how to navigate the TGA regulatory framework; - how to structure entities and budgets; and - the operational realities no slide deck covers. The format is intentionally intimate to allow for an application based candid conversation. Just the tactical knowledge that gives early-stage companies a genuine edge in getting to clinic faster and more capital-efficiently. About Acclime: Acclime is a global corporate services and advisory firm supporting international life sciences companies with market entry, clinical trial structuring, R&D advisory, tax, accounting, and ongoing operational support. Acclime works extensively with biotech companies conducting R&D and clinical activity in Australia and across Asia‑Pacific.

From frontline skepticism to leadership misalignment, we’ll unpack why even well-built systems fail to gain traction - and what successful teams are doing differently to bring their people along. This is a discussion for those responsible for making AI real: plant leaders, operations executives, and investors looking to understand where value is actually created - or lost.

In this workshop we’ll go from a trading idea to a live, automated system in less than an hour. When you RSVP, we’ll provide you a 30-day free trial of our private virtual server and visual interface so you can build custom trading logic. Instead of writing scripts from scratch, you can use AI to generate the logic and MachineTrader’s drag-and-drop editor to wire it all together. Bring your laptop and you'll leave with a running strategy deployed to your own private server - without writing code. We’ll use a bearish options trade (a bear put spread) as the example and walk through how it actually gets built and executed: - identifying the setup, - selecting the contracts and structuring the spread, - defining risk and payoff upfront, - sending the order through the broker (Alpaca), and - tracking the position as it plays out. All inside a live system. Everything is built visually in MachineTrader, so you can focus on the logic without dealing with infrastructure. A great fit if you’re: - curious how trading systems actually work end-to-end - interested in automation but don’t want to build everything from scratch - exploring AI + workflows and want a real-world use case.

Can your AI agent find your data, understand what it means, and access only what it's allowed to - without anyone's help? In almost every conversation we have with technology leaders, the same problem surfaces.Can your AI agent find your data, understand what it means, and access only what it's allowed to - without anyone's help? In almost every conversation we have with technology leaders, the same problem surfaces. The AI investment has been made. The data structure underneath was never ready for it. Siloed sources, no discoverability, unstable access controls, formats that work for humans but break models. This session is for CDOs, CTOs, VPs of Data and Engineering, and Heads of AI who are closing that gap inside their own organizations. We invited technology leaders and executives from ZoomInfo and other Boston-area companies to work through this together. The Talk - What "AI-Ready Data" Actually Means and How Far You Really Are A 10-layer readiness model built from work across dozens of enterprise data environments. Open standards, battle-tested patterns - not vendor frameworks. What you walk away with: A concrete score of where your organization stands today Specific implementation steps for each layer A clear path forward you can put in front of leadership No pitches. Just the diagnostic. After the Talk Mixer with food, drinks, and a room of technology executives dealing with the same problems - built for real conversation, not networking theater. Then we walk one block to Fenway. Braves vs. Sox, first pitch 4:10 PM. Hosted by VirtusLab We've worked inside data environments at Databricks, Airbnb, DHL, and a lot of teams in between.

We're at an interesting moment in AI. The hype cycle has matured. The infrastructure bets are playing out. Agentic systems are moving from demos to production.We're at an interesting moment in AI. The hype cycle has matured. The infrastructure bets are playing out. Agentic systems are moving from demos to production. And a new layer - what we call the Autonomous Economy - is starting to take shape in ways that matter for how companies get built and how capital gets deployed. Most of the coverage still hasn't caught up. So George is going to share his read on it directly. What we'll cover: → The Autonomous Economy - a working definition. Not a buzzword. A framework for understanding what's actually shifting and why it matters in 2026. → State of AI in Q2 2026: signal vs. noise. Where adoption is real, where infrastructure is consolidating, and where the application layer is opening up. → Investment themes Untapped is watching. The 3-5 verticals and theses we're most excited about right now - with real context, not generic categories. → What this means for founders and operators. Practical implications: what to build, what to avoid, and how to position for what's coming. → Live Q&A. Bring your questions. George will answer them directly. Who should come: Founders building AI-native or AE-adjacent companies. Investors and allocators looking for a fund-level read on where the market is going. Operators and leaders navigating AI inside their organizations. Anyone who's tired of surface-level takes and wants real signal. About George: George Bandarian is an AI investor, keynote speaker, and the Founder and General Partner of Untapped Ventures, an early-stage AI venture fund backing exceptional technical founders building the systems, infrastructure, and applications powering the Autonomous Economy (AE). Through Untapped Ventures, he has backed 35+ AI-native companies, including xAI, You.com, Extropic, Liquid AI, and Harper, with a thesis spanning agentic systems, vertical AI, and next-generation compute. George works closely with founders at the pre-seed and seed stages on company building, positioning, and go-to-market, and is also the host of the Agentic podcast (www.agenticai.vc).

Here's how it works: > You RSVP with your LinkedIn URL > If I find good matches for you, I'll match you in a curated room. If not, you'll join a small general breakout room. > You will get ~ 20 minutes together then come back to the main room.

Most technology pilots start with a handshake and end in a drawer. How do you make sure yours actually scales?Most technology pilots start with a handshake and end in a drawer. How do you make sure yours actually scales? Join the Boston Smaht chapter of Building Intelligence Group and the US PropTech Council for a brutally honest panel on what it really takes to get a building technology pilot off the ground - and across the finish line. We're bringing together owners, vendors, and advisors to have the conversation the industry usually avoids: • Why do owners insist on pilots - and is it really about the technology? • What does a pilot actually cost a vendor that never shows up on any invoice? • Should pilots be paid - and what does your answer say about how serious you are? • Who's really responsible when a pilot succeeds but the rollout fails? • How do you define success before you start, not after? This isn't a product showcase. It's a room full of people who've been on both sides of the table - and are willing to say what they actually think. Come for the insights.
