Boston's Voice AI Meetup (Our first!)
The inaugural Boston Voice AI Meetup is happening at Build617!
Join founders, product leaders, and developers interested in voice AI. Are you a:
vendor selling voice AI technologies to other businesses?
product leader deploying voice agents for customer interaction?
developer exploring use cases and technologies?
founder considering voice as UX for your startup?
You'll enjoy a mix of networking, learning, sharing, humor, and light snacks/drinks.
SEPTEMBER TOPIC:
"When Should Software Talk Back? Exploring conversational voice agents embedded in software UX."
2026 is the year that conversational voice agents escaped the 1-800 support line. And it's more than developers whispering into their goosenecks- real users are conversing with business software in the office, the car, the job site, and the soccer sideline.
How should product leaders think about this new interaction pattern? When is it useful, and when is it fluff?
And what technologies and tactics afford the best conversational UX?
You'll hear from a mix of voice AI vendors, developers, and product leaders about when, why, and how they let their product converse.
Bring your questions and use cases as well- this is a participatory learning experience.
This meetup is FREE thanks to our amazing sponsors:

"Hey Hub Come Here!" & the Old Guy
Who's the old guy in the logo?
That's Alexander Graham Bell, who made the first phone call in Boston 150 years ago (1876).
Bell spoke his famous "Mr. Watson, Come Here" line about 100 yards from Build617's front door. (Read the plaque on your way to the meetup!)
Lead Organizer Tom Elliott
