Last Thursday, we launched the Chicago chapter of the The GenAI Collective, an international AI community with global ambition and local heart. At our kickoff event, we welcomed 80 incredible technologists, entrepreneurs, and visionaries to share their journeys and imagine how AI can transform industries—and lives. It was an honor to have Chappy Asel, one of the GenAI Collective’s co-founders, join us for this incredible evening of collaboration and inspiration. Seeing so many passionate minds in one room reinforced why we’re building this community: to solve real problems, spark innovation, and foster connections that last a lifetime. But this isn’t just about one event—it’s about building a movement. Our Vision: We believe the most pressing challenges in healthcare, agriculture, infrastructure, and beyond can only be solved when bold thinkers come together, share resources, and create in spaces where innovation thrives. As we grow, the Chicago chapter will host more deeply interactive and highly technical events, focused on real-world problem-solving and breakthrough collaborations. But to make this happen, we need your support. Here’s how you can be part of it: ✅ Venues: Help us secure spaces for our monthly gatherings, from coworking hubs to innovation labs, where technologists can connect, create, and dream. ✅ Prizes & Builder Credits: Provide support for the innovators working tirelessly to launch solutions and businesses that change the world. ✅ Community Partners: Share your networks, expertise, and support to amplify our impact and grow this ecosystem. Why This Matters: Every transformative solution—every revolutionary idea—starts with people. It starts with community. Progress doesn’t happen alone; it takes partnerships, resources, and spaces where big ideas can flourish. Together, we can create an ecosystem where technology doesn’t just solve problems but sparks joy, drives growth, and builds meaningful connections. With your help, we can make Chicago the beating heart of AI innovation—not just for today but for years to come. This is your opportunity to be part of something bigger. To everyone I’ve reached out to so far: thank you for keeping these conversations moving. To those who see the potential here: let’s make it real. Our next event is coming up soon—let’s secure the venues, sponsors, and prizes to keep building this movement. Message me to discuss how you can volunteer alongside me, sponsor an event, or join forces to help drive innovation. Roma Khan thank you for being the first Chicago AI enthusiast and entrepreneur to support our local events.
