2026 Knowledge ∞ Continuum

Join us for an exciting day of learning and networking with world-class speakers, practitioners, alumni, faculty, and students at the annual Knowledge ∞ Continuum - the signature event of the Center for the Management of IT (CMIT) - focused on cutting-edge topics at the intersection of technology and business.

Keynote Speaker

We are thrilled to welcome Anton Korinek as this year's keynote speaker. A Professor in the UVA Department of Economics and Darden School of Business, Korinek was named to the third-annual TIME100 AI list recognizing the 100 most influential people in artificial intelligence, and he serves on Anthropic's Economic Advisory Council. His work at the frontier of AI makes him an ideal voice to start this year's program.

This year we will celebrate the 35th anniversary of CMIT — along with Professor Ryan Nelson's retirement as the founding Director of CMIT — and a special award recognition for Professor Barb Wixom!

Continuing education units (CEUs) are available during registration.

For those coming from out of town, discounted hotel links for UVA guests are here.

Current UVA undergraduates are invited to attend the networking breakfast and morning sessions to learn and network with our alumni, faculty, and industry attendees. Current UVA Masters students are invited to the entire day-long program, including lunch and the closing reception. Please select the complimentary STUDENT ticket and register using your UVA email address.
