MIT Technology Review's flagship emerging technology event returns to the MIT campus,ย showcasing advancements in generative AI and climate technologies โ two forces intrinsically tied to the future of business.
CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Sept. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- EmTech MIT, MIT Technology Review's flagship emerging technology event, kicks off Monday, September 30 on the MIT campus at a moment when advancements in artificial intelligence and climate technologies for a green economy are impacting nearly every business decision.
One of this year's speakers, Ray Kurzweil, researcher and AI visionary, said the following regarding innovation: "I realize that most inventions fail not because the R&D department can't get them to work, but because the timing is wrongโโโnot all of the enabling factors are at play where they are needed. Inventing is a lot like surfing: you have to anticipate and catch the wave at just the right moment."
This year's EmTech MITย theme, "Big ideas. Big Decisions. Big Impact." examines this timing of emerging trends and technologies and that push and pull as they are re-writing the rules of business.
The agenda includes leaders across industries and institutions forging that path ahead and joining MIT Technology Review's esteemed editorial team on stage.
For 25 years, researchers, policymakers, and business and technology leaders have gathered at EmTech MIT to understand the implications of technology breakthroughs from top experts in business, government, and academia before they become headlines. Anchored by the editorial expertise of MIT Technology Review, EmTech MIT features exclusive keynotes, thought-provoking interviews, and strategy-setting case studies. Attendees sit side-by-side with leaders across all industries in interactive Q&A sessions and experience unparalleled networking opportunities on the MIT campus. The virtual experience includes an interactive event hub featuring livestreamed sessions, videos on-demand, and networking opportunities.
