Dear CincyAI Community Member —

Thank you to everyone who joined us for a fantastic April CincyAI for Humans last week! We’re already looking forward to our May 6th meetup — RSVP here if you haven’t already! 

Right after the meetup, people already started pre-ordering my forthcoming book based on my SXSW presentation, “Farewell, Information Age — Welcome to the Imagination Age” — thank you so much!!! Pre-order your copy today as a crowd-funded advance to support an independent female voice. Your support will enable me to bring this idea to life — and is greatly appreciated! 🥰💛 

At the meeting, we did a SXSW recap of all the incredible Midwest SXSW takeover activities. And for anyone interested in going next year, the 2026 presale badges are their lowest rate now through April 18! These can be purchased here: cart.sxsw.com (even with a future group CincyAI discount, this will be the lowest fee for any SXSW badge).

As a reminder, 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 2025!

Here are the photos from our packed April meeting — feel free to share on LinkedIn and tag us and include #CincyAI. Our LinkedIn page is: https://www.linkedin.com/company/cincyai-for-humans/about/

We can’t wait to see you on May 6!!!
