Boston Generative AI Meetup

Welcome to the Boston Generative AI Meetup!

Founded in 2023 and now more than 6,600 members strong, the Boston Generative AI Meetup is one of the country’s largest in-person communities focused on AI.

We gather roughly every six weeks at venues across Greater Boston for substantive conversations, practical learning, and meaningful connections around the technologies changing how people build, work, create, and lead.

Our community brings together founders, executives, engineers, researchers, investors, academics, creators, designers, artists, students, and people who are simply curious about what AI makes possible.

We explore the full generative AI landscape: frontier and open-weight models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, xAI, Meta, DeepSeek, Alibaba’s Qwen, Moonshot’s Kimi, and others; image, video, voice, and music generation; coding assistants; autonomous AI agents and MCP-connected systems; and the infrastructure, governance, safety, evaluation, and operating practices required to move AI from experimentation into dependable real-world use.

Every meetup is different, but here is what you can expect:

1. Expert Talks: Presentations from leading researchers, practitioners, founders, executives, and investors on new capabilities, real-world deployments, and emerging business opportunities.
2. Cross-Disciplinary Panels: Candid conversations about how AI is changing business, creativity, careers, education, products, and everyday life.
3. Practical Demonstrations and Workshops: Opportunities to see new tools in action and, at selected events, work with them directly. Bring your laptop when the event listing recommends it.
4. Networking and Collaboration: Meet people across Boston’s AI ecosystem, exchange ideas, and build valuable relationships. Companies, co-founders, customers, hires, and partnerships have all begun in this community.

Who Should Attend:
Anyone interested in generative AI and its impact. You may be building AI systems, leading adoption inside an organization, conducting research, launching a company, investing, designing, creating, studying, or simply beginning to explore the field.
You do not need to be an AI expert to participate.
Curiosity and a willingness to contribute are enough.

The Boston Generative AI Meetup is also a flagship community event of Boston AI Week. The 2026 core festival week runs September 24 through October 2, bringing together companies, universities, startups, investors, researchers, public leaders, and communities from across Massachusetts and beyond.
