Dear CincyAI Community Member —

Today is our April CincyAI for Humans — we’re sold out! We’ll see you from 3-5pm in room 140 at the UC Digital Futures building located at 3080 Exploration Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45206.

We have a packed meeting with exciting news, QuickBytes, and special guests from The University of Cincinnati Center for Business Analytics and AI. 🎉

Tour of UC’s Digital Futures — The first 15 meetup registrants who also sign up for it on Eventbrite can get a tour of UC’s Digital Futures! These are on a first-come, first-served basis and are an excellent opportunity to learn about all of the amazing labs and research that’s taking place in the building. Each tour will start at 2:30pm and is led by the wonderful Kyle Maycock. These will be taking place before every meeting in 2026!

April Virtual AI Office Hours with Kendra and Helen — Open to CincyAI Champions on our Heartbeat community platform, our next virtual AI office hours will be Wednesday, April 8, from 12:00-12:45pm. For April's Virtual AI Office Hours, we get free invites to a webinar on AI tools and resources that Jeremy Brown and Kendra Ramirez are hosting through Nexus Cincy! To join, become a CincyAI Champion.
