Nicole
Summer Signal's Modern Renaissance panel together on stage

Summer Signal '26 · The Exploratorium, San Francisco · Sept 14, 2026

I turned a science museum
into a Modern Renaissance gallery.

Every AI summit
looks the same.

A stage, a logo wall, a keynote that could have been a blog post. GMI's flagship had to show the whole multimodal stack in one day. I didn't want a lineup. I wanted a story.

The Relay

Six chapters.
One stack.

I wrote the agenda like a table of contents. Each chapter was one layer of multimodal AI, from seeing to speaking to agents, and every partner had to earn its spot in the story.

Live partner demos. A Hollywood panel on AI-native entertainment. A gallery the room generated over the day.

“The Modern Renaissance theme gave us a strong way to connect many different parts of the AI ecosystem into one story.”
