Dear colleagues,
Gal Oestreicher-Singer (TAU) and I would like to invite you to the Second Workshop on AI and the Future of Collaborative Innovation (WAICI 2026), taking place at NYU Stern (NYC Campus) on October 1st and 2nd, 2026 (website: https://ai-conference.github.io/).
Last year's inaugural edition was a great success. We hit our capacity of 90 registered participants and hosted two excellent fireside chats with Avi Goldfarb, John Horton, Shawndra Hill, Natalia Levina, K. Sudhir, and Arun Sundararajan. Many of you played an active role last year, and we thank you very much for your support.
The 2026 theme is Agents, Productivity, and the Future Workforce.
