Summit for AI Institutes Leadership (SAIL)
October 21–October 23, 2025
Hyatt Regency Reston – Reston, VA
We hope to see you at SAIL!
The annual Summit for AI Institutes Leadership (SAIL) fosters significant interactions, discussions, and connections among the AI Institutes’ researchers and staff. All Institute collaborators will benefit by bringing key leadership at primary and sub-awardee sites and providing opportunities to showcase their research, make connections, ask questions, and share best practices and concerns.
We’re featuring two new events at SAIL this year, the Partner Showcase and the Graduate Student Workshop.
The 27 AI Institutes, primarily funded by the NSF and USDA-NIFA, carry out a broad spectrum of research in critically important areas of US competitiveness, ranging from food security, public safety, education, weather, and myriad other targets.
