PHYSICAL AI FOR CITIES: BOSTON TECH WEEK
The future of cities is being built with AI. This is where that conversation happens.
During Boston Tech Week, CYVL is opening our Somerville HQ for an evening dedicated to Physical AI for government — the technology, the policy, the adoption playbook, and the real-world use cases that are already changing how cities operate.
a16z is hosting in Boston for the first time this year. We figured the best way to welcome them is to show what Boston builders actually do — deploy AI in the physical world at city scale.
Who this is for:
→ Founders building Physical AI for infrastructure, cities, or public systems
→ City and state officials exploring AI adoption
→ Engineers and product leaders working on sensors, mapping, robotics, digital twins, or computer vision for the built environment
→ Investors backing the physical world
What to expect:
→ Live tech demos — not slides, actual product
→ Candid conversations on government procurement, policy friction, and what's actually working
→ The builders and the buyers, same room, no pretense
Drinks and food provided. The office is full of LiDAR rigs and 3D city models. Come see what Physical AI looks like when it's not a deck — it's deployed.
