AI and the Next Economy

Join Entrepreneur Events and Boston University’s Questrom School of Business for AI and the Next Economy during Boston’s AI Week on October 1, 2026.

Hosted by Entrepreneur magazine’s Editor In Chief Jason Feifer, this event brings together business leaders, entrepreneurs, faculty, students, alumni, and innovators for an applied exploration of how artificial intelligence is reshaping markets, enterprise strategy, organizational design, work, and human judgment. The program combines executive insight, live problem-solving, working breakout sessions, research translation, demonstrations, and relationship-building.

The summit is organized around a business-first, human-centered perspective. Each session connects AI to the decisions leaders make about value creation, operating models, workforce transformation, governance, and accountability.
