What to look forward to
The Cleveland/Akron AI Collective will host a free, no-sales-pitch evening of networking and short AI project show-and-tells, welcoming builders, educators, decision-makers, researchers, and curious newcomers. Part of a global nonprofit with 250,000+ leaders and practitioners across 200+ chapters, the event will make space to share ideas, troubleshoot challenges, and compare notes on AI’s role in work.
Inside the event
Join the Cleveland / Akron chapter of the AI Collective at Missing Falls Brewery in Akron for an AI Project Open Mic and Networking event.
Agenda
5 pm: Open Networking
6:30 pm: AI project open mic
*This is not a sales pitch night.*
Bring something neat you’re building and want to show off. Bring the thing that broke and you want to figure out. Bring a question your team keeps coming back to. Or come listen and meet people.
We’ll make room for short show-and-tells, conversation, and time to meet people across different kinds of work.
You do not need to be an AI engineer. You do not need a polished case study. If you’re using AI, building with it, responsible for decisions about it, teaching it, studying it, concerned about it, or just trying to understand what it means for your work, you belong in the room.
The point is simple: people talking, comparing notes, sharing ideas, and helping shape what a useful Northeast Ohio AI community looks like.
Looking ahead: December 2, also at Missing Falls Brewery.
Free event. Cash bar. Cash menu. Live music. Good people.
