What happens when frontier ideas meet people ready to build them?
Following a day of science, AI, and startup showcases at AIAS⁺ 2026, we’re opening the doors for an evening with the founders, researchers, builders, and curious minds turning ambitious ideas into something real.
Meet teams working across AI and science, discover what people are experimenting with and building now, and find the collaborators, perspectives, or unexpected conversations that could shape what comes next.
