The MIT Museum is launching the MIT Future Fest, an ambitious new festival celebrating tomorrow’s possibilities at the intersections of art, design, science, and technology. Taking over the MIT campus in Cambridge, Massachusetts from September 30–October 4, 2026, the inaugural five-day festival will open the doors of MIT’s labs, workshops, and theaters for in-person conversations, experiences, exhibitions, and tours, inviting world-renowned experts and curious minds to join together in the shared thrill of discovery in action.
MIT Future Fest is a collaboration led by MIT Museum in partnership with MIT Technology Review and MIT Morningside Academy for Design (MAD) with support from an advisory panel of world-leading researchers and experts. The public unveiling of the MET Warehouse — a new home for the MIT School of Architecture and Planning — will occur during MIT Future Fest, and EmTech Future, a new iteration of MIT Technology Review’s flagship event, will also premiere this week as part of the MIT Future Fest experience.
