Welcome to the only AI event stitching technology and humanity together!

Following the enthusiastic reception of last year’s inaugural gathering, we are excited to announce the 2024 edition of AI-volution of Culture in New York City.

At Quilt AI, we unite AI practitioners, data analysts, and storytellers who are passionate about harnessing technology to build amazing brands and address deep complex humanitarian challenges. This year, we are excited to spotlight innovative AI applications and introduce our pioneering instant question-to-report app. We will be showing use cases across healthcare, consumer goods, fashion, and beauty!

We have also brought together an inspiring selection of creators - visual artists, poets, musicians, and comedians, all ready to share their insights on how AI is revolutionizing their work and driving innovation. Imagine a day where CEOs and CMOs talk about using AI in their enterprises, thought leaders hold forth on the future of the world and creators talk about food, poetry, art and music.

All Sign-Ups get complimentary access to the base version of our Sphere software.

Our past event

Generative AI is being described as the next Internet and people are beginning to experience a world where machines can help us  ideate and build faster than ever before. What we find particularly exciting is the democratization of translating culture into action and the interplay of culture and technology at a scale and speed that is almost impossible to keep up. 

Sign up for our 2024 edition event as we bring together marketers, storytellers, builders and technologists to understand how they are investigating and weaving AI into business, marketing, and work.

A limited number of tickets are available to join us in person at The Times Center, New York.
