Happy New Year CincyAI Community Member — 

Hope you enjoyed the holidays and that your 2024 is off to a wonderful start!

Kendra and I can’t wait to welcome you to our first CincyAI Meetup of 2024 next week on Tuesday, January 9, from 3-5 pm at the UC Digital Futures building in room 140 — sign up if you haven’t already! 

Get ready for more:

1. Expert Insights: Meet and mingle with Cincinnati's AI thought leaders, innovators, and builders. Discover what's being created right here in our region and how it's making waves globally.

2. QuickBytes Lightning Rounds: Got something to share? Take the stage for up to 3 minutes to showcase what you're working on, a new tool you've discovered, or simply what excites you about AI. We have slots for 15-20 trailblazers to share their passion projects.

3. Collaboration Corners: Looking for your next big idea or partnership? This is your chance to collaborate and brainstorm with like-minded individuals.
