NYCxDESIGN & Cornell Tech present this one-day summit exploring AI's rapidly expanding influence across the full spectrum of design.

As designers, we don't just react to the future. We help shape it." - Will Hall
Introducing NYCxDESIGN AI Summit: FutureNow - Art of the Possible.
From architecture to product, graphic design to art & technology, this program brings together leading voices shaping the future in real time. This is not a distant forecast. It's a live snapshot of a transformation already underway. Through a series of visionary talks & conversations, Future Now offers a sweeping look at how AI is redefining creativity, reshaping processes, & expanding what's possible.
The morning session focuses on emerging research & academic perspectives, offering a glimpse into the ideas & experiments that will define the next wave of design.

The afternoon session turns to practice, featuring leading professionals sharing how they are actively applying AI in their work today, from concept to execution.

Through a blend of keynote presentations, panels, & fireside chats, this session is a must see.

The summit is hosted by Will Hall, Chief Transformation Officer at PreSeason

Coffee & lunch will be served, & an informal reception will conclude the programming.

In partnership with Cornell Tech. With special thanks to Adobe & Massican Wines.
