Why Come Back Now?

This year’s reunion marks a significant moment in the Lab’s story—and yours. Here are four reasons not to miss it:

1. Celebrate the return of the lab-hosted reunion as we begin the Media Lab’s 40th year. This gathering is more than a milestone—it’s a reawakening of our community tradition.
2. Get a first-hand look at where we are now—and where we’re going—with insights from our incoming executive director (to be announced). It’s a chance to hear directly from new leadership and help shape the future.
3. Experience a special expo of Media Lab milestones and demos, in both physical and video form. You’ll see defining moments from across the decades—and you can contribute your own.
4. Take home a piece of Media Lab history through our curated silent auction, featuring artifacts, ephemera, and creative contributions from across the Lab’s past.

Reunion Highlights

We’ll kick off the reunion with an evening gathering in the Lab’s atrium, immediately following the Member Meeting. Raise a glass with fellow alumni, reconnect with faculty, researchers, students, and staff, and start the weekend in the heart of the Lab.

• Friday, October 24

Plenary Session
Alumni and Lab leaders will share reflections, stories, and visions for the future during a morning session centered on collaboration, experimentation, and evolution.

Atrium Social Gathering
The Lab atrium will remain open and active throughout the day—a space for informal meetups, spontaneous conversations, and new connections.

Evening Reception and Silent Auction
Join us for an evening celebration and participate in a silent auction offering unique Lab artifacts, creative works, and experiences. All proceeds support current Media Lab students and initiatives.

Looking Ahead

This reunion isn’t just a celebration of the past—it’s a recommitment to the values and relationships that define the Media Lab. We hope you’ll return to Cambridge to reconnect with the people who made the Lab feel like home, and to help shape what’s next.

A full schedule, travel information, and registration details will be available soon.
