Where the ecosystem comes together
ETA produces a national calendar of events designed to educate, enable, and connect, from regional AI Week conferences to the national US AI Congress, the executive Future Tech Forum, and member programming online and off.

Every ETA event format explained
ETA runs four distinct event formats, each designed for a specific audience, purpose, and level of engagement within the national emerging technology ecosystem.
A community-powered, week-long AI festival anchored by a two-day conference. Keynotes, workshops, roundtables, networking, vendor showcase, awards, and certificate workshops, all in one week, in cities and regions across the country.
ETA's annual national gathering, two days of keynotes, working sessions, and collaborative programming at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C. The 2026 US AI Congress marks the official launch of the National AI Accelerator inaugural cohort.
An access-gated half-day peer exchange for executives and technology leaders, held in markets across the country throughout the year. Keynotes, fireside chats, curated roundtables, and candid peer dialogue, without a vendor floor in sight.
ETA members access a year-round calendar of virtual masterclasses, cohort sessions, National AI Literacy Day programming, peer roundtables, and certification workshops, both online and in-person at ETA events nationwide.
