AI progress creates more work for humans, not less
In 2027, AI will take on more execution. Humans will spend more time deciding what matters, thinking creatively, and building what comes next.
That is the thesis behind Thesis: 2027.
Every’s inaugural conference brings together founders, creatives, researchers, executives, and operators already changing how work gets done with AI to discuss and debate what comes after automation.
Come with a thesis about what AI changes in your industry. Leave with a clearer position on what you’re going to build with it.
A highly engineered itinerary
A day designed for participation, Thesis moves between big ideas and small rooms, with keynotes, debates, executive roundtables, and hands-on workshops. Your schedule is custom-built around your interests.
The agora
The main stage for keynotes, interviews, and debates from the biggest names in AI.
The salon
An intimate room for executive-level conversations curated by vertical.
The classroom
Experts lead hands-on sessions that turn ideas into practices you can use immediately.
Office hours
Work directly with the people at the edge of AI. Bring your questions and leave with a new perspective on how to do it yourself.
Family table
A long-table meal designed around conversation, hosted in Dustin Yellin’s studio. Assigned seating brings you together with the fellow attendees we believe you need to meet.
Café and bookshop
Get caffeinated, hop on the call, and meet your fellow attendees. The bookshop features vintage titles selected by the Every team.
