Dear CincyAI Community Member —

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a packed April CincyAI for Humans!

Join us on May 5 from 3-5pm in room 140 at the UC Digital Futures building located at 3080 Exploration Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45206 — RSVP for free today!

You’ve spoken, and we listened — AI use case live workshopping is coming to our May meetup! Folks from the community will bring their AI problems for us to solve collectively in real time. Interested in being in a hot seat? The use cases will be pre-selected, so let Kendra or Helen know by DMing us on LinkedIn that you’re interested and which AI problem you’d like the room to tackle.

We’re grateful to the University of Cincinnati Center for Business Analytics and AI for partnering with us on April’s meeting to share information about the center’s offerings and its upcoming 2026 Analytics & AI Summit taking place on May 5 from 7:30am - 4:30pm at the Sharonville Convention Center.
