For 25 years, the Nantucket Conference brought together technology entrepreneurs, investors and C-level executives to a small island off the coast of Massachusetts.

In 2025, the conference moved to the mainland and became the Chatham Conference. The mission of bringing the technology ecosystem together through real-world stories, impromptu discussions and an audience that matches the caliber of the speakers on stage continues.
