Purpose Summit: AI for Community Resilience

At a time when institutions are under strain and public trust is eroding, AI offers more than disruption; it offers a chance to redesign the foundations of how we live and work together. When guided with intention, it can help communities rebuild critical systems and strengthen resilience from the ground up.
The 2026 Purpose Summit: AI for Community Resilience explores how AI can support collective action, deepen civic engagement, and strengthen communities’ capacity to adapt and thrive. Through meaningful connection, shared learning, and cross-sector collaboration - embracing the role of large organizations, corporates, and startups - we’ll elevate leaders designing AI solutions that center people and place.
This one-day event will feature interactive sessions, keynote remarks, and a networking reception designed to spark meaningful dialogue and foster collaboration among institutions and organizations working at the intersection of AI and community impact.

Doors Open 12:30PM
Programming 1:00 - 5:45PM

Join us to turn potential into purpose and shape a future where AI advances resilient, thriving communities.
