This reunion is not for the official 40th Anniversary Celebration. That happens in October 2026.

Reconnect with the past. Reignite new ideas. Reimagine what’s next.

Join us this October for the return of the MIT Media Lab Alumni Reunion, a gathering that begins on Thursday, October 23, 2025, and invites alumni from across the decades back to the space where ideas took root—and where the future is always in progress.

The event will kick off with a reception immediately following the Media Lab Member Event and promises shared stories, creative inspiration, and opportunities to see where the Lab stands as we prepare to enter our 40th year.

Whether you’re coming back to reconnect with collaborators, celebrate milestones, or contribute to what’s next, we hope you’ll join us. 

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.
