This is a moment to create opportunity, but to do it in a eyes-wide-open way that is uniquely Dartmouth.
- Patrick Wheeler
    Executive Director of Tuck’s Center for Digital Strategies

The Dartmouth AI Conference is heading west this year to the San Francisco Bay area for a full day of Dartmouth excellence and connection in the heart of AI innovation and industry. 

The event, presented by the Tuck School of Business in partnership with the Thayer School of Engineering and Magnuson Center for Entrepreneurship, takes place Friday, October 11, 2024, at the Mission Bay Conference Center in San Francisco—and online, for those who cannot attend in person.

This isn’t an event for experts only: The Dartmouth AI Conference is carefully designed to be approachable for all attendees so they can learn more, hear great use cases, and better understand AI’s obstacles and opportunities.

This year’s conference, a result of collaboration across Dartmouth, brings a large roster of speakers from diverse industries and places. Attendees will learn from a wide variety of sources, including small startups, large companies, tech titans, and pioneers working in traditional businesses, healthcare, and biology. A key benefit of in-person attendance is the opportunity to network across students, alumni, faculty and staff, and industry experts participating in the conference. 

“There’s a real sense of curiosity running through the conference this year,” says Patrick Wheeler, executive director of Tuck’s Center for Digital Strategies. “Something we do really well at Dartmouth and at Tuck is recognize the importance of exploring what’s possible and asking the tough questions, ‘How should we approach these new issues? How do we make sure we consider the possible impact of our solutions?’”

He adds, “This is a moment to create opportunity, but to do it in a eyes-wide-open way that is uniquely Dartmouth.”

Dartmouth students, staff, faculty, and alumni from all schools affiliated with Dartmouth with an interest in AI are encouraged to attend.
