Happy Friday CincyAI Community Member — 

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first meetup of 2024!

We had a record number of 130 people register and attend, and we couldn’t be more excited to have you be part of the largest AI community in the region. We’re an important node to the burgeoning AI ecosystem here in Cincinnati, leading the way with Responsible AI.

A big thank you to Seven Hills Technology for their sponsorship of the food and drink, and helping make CincyAI possible! If you’re interested in sponsoring, don’t be shy. 😉 

Hope you can join us for our next CincyAI Meetup taking place Tuesday, February 6, from 3-5 pm at the UC Digital Futures building in room 140 — sign up if you haven’t already! 

After our February 6 meetup, you’re invited to join us across the street at the iconic 1819 Innovation Hub for an AI and alcohol happy hour taking place from 5:30-7:30 pm. The 'Creators & Cocktails' event, proudly sponsored by Makers Mark, promises to be an evening where art seamlessly blends with technology that you won’t want to miss. This happy hour is from our community partners MidwestCon and Disrupt Now with Rob Richardson at the helm — thank you, Rob!
