We’re proud to introduce the inaugural 1682 Advisory Committee, a group of AI leaders who will help guide the conference as we prepare for our fifth event, to be held once again at the Barnes Foundation.
1682 is intentionally curated for C-suite and senior executives responsible for AI strategy, budget allocation, and enterprise transformation. Attendance is selective by design, ensuring the room is composed of leaders with authority to act. This is what drives the depth of conversation and the quality of connections that define the 1682 experience.
The Advisory Committee will help shape speaker selection, topic curation, partnerships, and long-term vision, ensuring 1682 remains practitioner-focused and grounded in real-world execution.

Philadelphia-driven. Intentionally curated.
Last year, 1682 welcomed more than 150 attendees to the Barnes Foundation and 75 more to NBCUniversal’s Lift Labs. Growth has never been about scale alone.
It is about curation.
As Philadelphia and the nation reflect on 250 years, 1682 continues the city’s tradition of convening leaders who are building what comes next.
More committee announcements and speaker reveals are coming soon.
This is the next chapter for 1682 and for Philadelphia’s role in shaping the future of AI.
