Connections
We facilitate connections between our members. Kendall Square is famous for its bump factor, and we are intentional about amping up the bump factor to help our members achieve their shared mission–improving the human condition. Together, our members do big things, and solve global challenges.
Convenings
Our members have exclusive access to KSA Events and Programs throughout the year. Our convenings are centered on topics that matter.
We host Member Socials, Kendall Conversations, Innovation Tours, Leadership Dialogues, Workshops, Peer Meet-ups, Community Events, Kendall Square Challenge, Annual Meeting Celebration, and more.
Amplification
Our members can count on KSA to amplify the work they do, and the impact they make on the world. We shine the spotlight on our members’ accomplishments, awards, breakthroughs, contributions, initiatives, and impact.
Plus, we feature 1,000+ events hosted by our members to ensure everyone knows what’s happening here from lectures and networking to fitness, farmers’ markets, art openings, and more.
Promotion
We promote Kendall Square and our members through multiple media channels. Plus, each year we host delegations from around the globe, and we connect them with our members across all sectors—academia, hospitality, life science, professional services, R&D, and all kinds of tech.
Collaboration
We bring people together, gather data, listen to our members, and identify opportunities for game-changing collaboration.
We focus on the challenges and opportunities of today and tomorrow in a range of fields from AI, to energy infrastructure, life science, quantum, and culture.
Advocacy
Tackling challenges together is essential to our shared future. No one member alone can take on the challenges we face around energy, housing, infrastructure, sustainability, transportation, or vibrancy.
KSA’s advocacy with government officials and allies in the city, state, region, and beyond is focused on ensuring a vibrant, innovative, sustainable future here in Kendall Square.
Leadership
We offer KSA members opportunities to lead and to shape the future through service on our Board of Directors, Emerging Leaders Board, and Board Alumni Council.
