To be able to participate in sessions on a given day, you must have registered in Eventbrite by 2 p.m. ET at the latest on the same day as your desired sessions. This deadline allows our event staff to enter all registrants’ emails into Canvas in preparation for that night’s sessions. For example, if you sign up by 2 p.m. ET on Monday, April 1, you will have access to Canvas for the duration of the event.

Once registered on Eventbrite and added to the Canvas course “AI In Action Week 2024,” attendees are able to see all the details needed to attend the sessions. You are welcome to vary your modality type of attendance from session to session (e.g., attending in person for one session and attending virtually for another).  Some sessions are only offered virtually, and others are only offered in person at campuses across Northeastern.

There are many sessions that are being offered virtually throughout AI in Action Week and all registrants are welcome to attend these virtual sessions. Some sessions are being held in person at specific campuses across Northeastern. The final schedule will display the time, format, campus, and location of each session offered throughout the event, so attendees can choose sessions that work for their location, interest, and schedule.

All sessions, including the Opening and Closing Plenary Sessions, will be recorded and available at a later date.
