Vision Weekend returns to Puerto Rico!

Following the success of 2025, Vision Weekend is returning to beautiful Puerto Rico for another celebration of frontier science and technology. This isn’t your typical conference – it’s a high-octane convergence where the world’s most ambitious researchers, builders, and accelerationists come together to forge the future.

From cypherpunk and brain–computer interfaces to fusion, longevity biotech and molecular machines, this weekend will showcase the technologies defining the next decade. Connect with founders building tomorrow’s frontier tech companies, collaborate with fellow innovators on groundbreaking projects, and gain insights from the minds shaping our digital landscape.

Join for the big ideas – keynotes and office hours with leading experts, unconference discussions, lightning talks, and 1-1s. Stay for fun with new friends – sunset drinks, biohacking sessions, tech demos, interactive art, the after party and picnic at the beach, and the numerous satellite events. We’ll also award a $10,000 grant to a project advancing the frontiers of science.

Conference

This year’s theme is “AI for X”, exploring how AI can advance neurotechnology, biotechnology, and other transformative fields. You will hear 30+ short presentations from top researchers and builders. After the talks, join the meet and greets with your favorite speakers!

VIP Gatherings

Beyond the main event, speakers, sponsors, All Access Pass holders, Fellows, and grantees are invited to exclusive VIP gatherings. Get ready for the welcome party on Friday, a jazzy solarpunk evening at Antiguo Casino on Saturday, and a beautiful beach picnic by the ocean on Sunday afternoon. These smaller, curated events offer the perfect setting for meaningful conversations and deeper connections.
