This weekend's MIT Alumni Leadership Conference (ALC) will unite Institute alumni and volunteers with a shared passion for MIT and a shared commitment to help MIT make a better world. The conference keynotes will focus on the real-world impact of science and technology and will feature alumni and students who are putting the MIT mindset to work through hands-on research, public advocacy, and participatory innovation.
