This year, I visited 10 of America’s top AI hubs with The GenAI Collective, hosting events that brought people together to discuss not just what’s happening in AI, but why it matters. From these gatherings, 5 key lessons emerged: 1️⃣ 2024 wasn’t the “Year of AI Agents” – it was the year of infrastructure. Foundational progress set the stage, but 2025 will be when agents move from theory to practice and start reshaping our workflows. 2️⃣ Community is the foundation of innovation. When we learn, connect, and elevate one another, we unlock collective potential that benefits not just individuals but entire tech ecosystems. 3️⃣ San Francisco’s unique bubble fuels audacity. The sheer density of events and ideas sparks transformative breakthroughs, though it comes with challenges of insularity. 4️⃣ Every city brings something distinct to the table. Whether it’s Boston’s biotech focus or Chicago’s finance expertise, local cultures shape AI in diverse and meaningful ways. 5️⃣ And yet, we’re all asking the same big questions. From career uncertainty to post-work life, these universal concerns tie us together and remind us that progress is ultimately a human endeavor. The power of AI lies not just in the technology but in the people shaping its story. Here's to an exponential 2025!! 🚀 https://lnkd.in/g-NxDnmW

🌟Happy New Year from the GenAI Collective. May 2025 bring groundbreaking innovations and exciting discoveries.🧠

🎁 The GenAI Collective's 2024 Wrapped! 🎁 This community began last year as a small group of friends gathering in a cozy San Francisco living room to discuss the week’s latest news and advancements in AI. I don’t think any of us expected these conversations to grow beyond this intimate setting. And in many ways, it hasn’t! Yes, this group of friends has grown a little in size and heart, but the passion and purpose remains the same! This community was founded on the belief that the most meaningful connections are made when exploring a shared curiosity together, and that meaningful relationships lead to meaningful outcomes. Bring exceptional people together in purposeful ways and INCREDIBLE things happen! Over the past week or so I've been collecting images and preparing a special community newsletter post reflecting on 2024 and, wow, has it ever been a trip down memory lane! 🥹 Check out the full wrapped here: https://lnkd.in/g4H3zSTs Thank you for being a part of this awesome community! Merry Christmas and happy holidays, everyone!! 🎄🎁🫶

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas filled with joy, wonder, and the spirit of innovation! 🎄 From your GenAI Collective community, with love. ✨

Incredibly inspired after participating on Miami's first GenAI Collective AI Agents Demo Night! 🌟 What a privilege to witness seven remarkable startups showcase their AI innovations. The room was buzzing with excitement, and for good reason - every single presentation pushed the boundaries of what's possible with AI technology. Major congratulations to the winners: • Fashion.ai by Leonardo Leão for Best Idea - fascinating approach to revolutionizing fashion through AI • Go Arlo by Warren C. for Best Demo - their presentation was absolutely captivating! Beyond the awards, what struck me most was the incredible sense of community in the room. As someone passionate about AI innovation, it was refreshing to connect with like-minded individuals and see firsthand how Miami's tech ecosystem is flourishing. Special shoutout to the organizers and sponsors who made this possible - Aman Sharma ⧉ and Charles Whiteman you've created something truly special here. Events like these remind us that Miami isn't just participating in the AI revolution - we're helping lead it. Already looking forward to the next demo night! If you're working in AI or just curious about the space, these events are absolutely worth attending. Have you been to any AI demo nights? What innovations are you most excited about?

"I came, I saw, and I cleaned up!" – First The GenAI Collective 🤖 Meetup in #Toronto🍁 hosted by Chappy Asel, Director, with sponsor Leah Elizabeth Morris from Radical Ventures! And yes, I cleaned up literally after the meeting, but more importantly, cleaned up big time with connections and learnings! The 5 core values of the Collective fuelled its growth into a global community of 30,000, now expanding internationally to Toronto, its second hub outside the USA (after Paris✨)! 🌍: #Connection - Make meaningful 1+1 connections. #PositiveSum - We all win together culture. #Authenticity - Genuine interest in the other person #Participation - Diverse perspectives matter #Curiosity - Ask questions and explore new ideas. We kicked things off with fun icebreakers like "What are your holiday plans?" and the classic "If you were a drink, what would you be?" (Maple syrup-infused bourbon, anyone? 🥃). Engaged attendees moved between host tables to new conversations (And pls, no phones at the dinner table, young man! 😄) The real takeaway? Meaningful connections made over discussions on what it means to be human in a world where AI is taking over left and right. We had deep conversations on what makes us unique and whether we can love AI as much as another human🤔(Flashback to "Her" movie from 2013!)💡 Already pumped for the next meetup with Alex Karan Ravi Alex Karan Jasmine Noah Gunjit Godwin David and everyone🚀 🎊 Shameless Plug: PopIn is transforming how we connect at events.
