North Stars and New Routes — Fifty Years of Technology Policy

Watch the event here.

We invite you to join us virtually for a landmark symposium and celebration: the 50th Anniversary Symposium of the MIT Technology and Policy Program (TPP). This milestone event will honor five decades of education, research, and global impact, while convening our vibrant community of alumni, faculty, students, staff, and partners.

Together, we will reflect on TPP’s enduring legacy and the groundbreaking contributions of our graduates and faculty, explore today’s most pressing challenges at the intersection of technology and policy, and envision bold new directions for technology policy in the decades ahead.

Founded to confront the most consequential technological issues facing society — through the integration of deep technical expertise with rigorous policy analysis — TPP’s mission remains as vital as ever. This special event will celebrate the past, engage the present, and chart pathways toward a thriving, resilient, and impactful future.
