Boston AI Week 2026: Core Week Closing Party at Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar
Date: Friday, October 2, 2026
Time: 6:00 PM - Close
Location: Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar, Seaport, Boston
Join us for the official Closing Party of Boston AI Week 2026 at Island Creek Oysters Raw Bar in the Seaport, the same waterfront location as the Opening Party, an annual tradition that bookends the festival.
After nine days of talks, workshops, demos, and gatherings across Massachusetts, we end the festival the way we started it: fresh oysters, great food and drinks, and plenty of networking with the founders, executives, investors, researchers, students, and builders who made the week. The Closing Party is where the week's connections become lasting ones.
