Creating an impactful AI event involves more than gathering experts—it’s about fostering a community where ideas flourish and connections are made. 🔗 Collaborative Spirit: For our event, "Experiments in Science and Life: Causality, Open-source, and LLM Safety," we've partnered with brilliant minds like David Reiley, Soumya Batra, Sri Satish Ambati, and Bob van Luijt. These collaborations are essential for generating meaningful discussions and innovative thinking. When planning your event, seek out diverse voices that can contribute unique perspectives. 🏛️ Strategic Location: Hosting at the Microsoft Reactor in Silicon Valley puts us at the epicenter of technological innovation. The venue isn’t just a place; it embodies the collaborative and forward-thinking spirit we aim to foster. Choose venues that not only accommodate your attendees but also inspire them. 🎉 Engaging Atmosphere: Our agenda balances structured talks and informal networking, allowing industry experts, founders, and investors to share ideas freely. The magic often happens in those spontaneous conversations during breaks. Design your event to facilitate these moments. 🌍 Community and Impact: Our goal is to create lasting value by building a passionate AI community. We want attendees to leave with new knowledge and a sense of belonging. Think about how to keep your community engaged long after the event ends. 🙌 Gratitude and Acknowledgment: Special thanks to Sahar Rasheed, Roxana Teran, & Raymond Lee for your incredible support in bringing this community together.

AI FOR GOOD? Do you want to know more? I am thrilled to share that I will be speaking at the AI FOR GOOD event organized by Eidra and La French Tech Nordics on Wednesday, November 27th! 🎤✨ This event brings together corporates, talents, government leaders, and innovators to tackle a critical question in today’s tech landscape: How do we balance efficiency with meaningful, lasting impact? Beyond innovation and technology, this balance will fundamentally transform the workforce as AI will not only require upskilling employees to work alongside these technologies but will also revolutionize how we recruit and select talent. At the same time, recruitment priorities will shift toward skills that foster creativity, strategic thinking, and collaboration with AI systems. I’m looking forward to hearing how organizations can drive innovation while preparing their workforce for the future and creating value for society. Let’s connect and shape the future of work, together! 🚀 #AIForGood #FutureOfWork #Upskilling #InnovationWithImpact #TalentTransformation #WorkforceEvolution #RecruitmentTrends #Strategy

🚕Last November, I tried to change my hotel reservation for an upcoming trip to NYC. What I thought was a simple task turned into a marathon of patience (that I tragically lost in). 🤯The nightmare that ensued: - 10+ calls to Booking.com’s customer support and hotel reception - 20+ mins wait each call (we all know the hold music torture) - 5am wake-ups so I can reach the operators during their working hours All to make one tiny change. … and this is why I'm so excited about AI phone agents like Heffron.ai. Imagine a voice agent that: - Answers the phone 24/7 - Speaks in natural language - Provides instant answers - Summaries your reason for calling (so that the person/business you’re reaching knows the purpose of your call) Even if the agent couldn’t solve the issue straightaway, at least I had someone (or some bot) respond to me in natural language. And knowing someone will get the right person to respond to my call just makes the experience MUCH better. 📱 The future of customer support is here, and it speaks fluent human, thanks to #generativeAI. 📍Curious about an AI agent that can answer your phone (with an Aussie accent)? Swing by Heffron.ai booth at SXSW Expo this Wednesday - Friday for a live demo 🤖📞 Adam M. #CustomerService #AI #GenAI #SXSW2024 #SXSW SXSW Sydney

It sure looks like people want a different approach to in-person tech events. There has been response to the event that Nicole Klug and I are hosting on July 18 in Toronto. It's a 50-person event focused on purposeful networking and connections. Our goal is to help you meet as many people as possible and spark new opportuniites. The format is five discussion tables around different aspects of AI and marketing. After 20 minutes, you move to another table to meet new people. Tickets are only $10. They're going fast!

There are 100s of AI events in the Bay every week - and one thing was common. Most (not all!) of them discuss tech advancements or general networking but were missing depth on other fronts. Given how rapidly, this space is changing, Shipra Agarwal Kanoria and I were thinking of getting a bunch of folks together to go beyond (think of this as a monthly supper club where we learn and grow together!) Join us for an inaugural *AI Horizons* roundtable with The Product Folks and WestBridge Capital to discuss how to think about responsible GenAI deployment and building agentic AI systems.  🗓 30-05-2024 📬 Invite-Only Event Takeaways from this event : ✨ Exclusive Insights: Share and learn best GenAI practices from fellow builders and operators ✨ Network with other GenAI builders: No, not exchanging LinkedIn links. Rather meet and connect with fellow builders, operators, and founders who are at the forefront of GenAI innovation. ✨ Forward-Thinking Strategies: Learn about the latest approaches on building successful products Just setting expectations: These will be *tiny* gatherings so we can go deeper on the conversations Let me know what you think, small form in the comments in case you want to join in :)

A great start to what we’re hoping will be an incredibly useful platform to develop a more informed engagement with AI. As Architects, we are often seen to be lagging behind the advancements made in other industries, using technologies that, at first glance, can appear a little confusing and perhaps even a little too complex. At ARC Design Studio, we’ve been working hard as a team to research, test, break, and review some of these emerging technologies. To make AI work for our practice. It’s of course still early days and, as a SME, we aren’t often in a position where we can setup a dedicated team to research and develop these technologies in house. So there are some major limitations here for small, independent businesses; particularly in regional cities like Nottingham. This is partly why we have decided to launch this event series. To build a community around a defined theme that can share knowledge, and discuss the opportunities and threats of AI across a broad range of industries. 🧠 Knowledge is power. 👥 And community is at the heart of both. See you at the next one?

"How AI is going to make us more human". This intriguing statement lured me into booking a ticket to #SouthSummit Madrid, in the hope of finding inspiration on how to guide Tunga into the AI-era. Rookie mistake! ⛔ After all, I knew that these kinds of trade shows are much more about networking than about the content. And that oddly enough tech events nowadays mainly revolve around startups finding funding and vice versa. It was a bit like going to a rock concert expecting 🎶classical music! My bad, but in the bigger scheme of things I wouldn’t call this a major setback. It has not been the first time that I ended up in the wrong place and over the years I’ve learned to make the most out of such situations. It was time to deploy a technique that I have named: 👉The Bird-Of-Paradise Effect This name was inspired by a BBC series, Planet Earth: The Making Of. The film crew had to sit silently in a tent in the Indonesian bush for six weeks to capture the mating dance of the paradise bird. Six weeks! Talk about patience. Similarly, even at events that don't seem tailored for you, there are hidden gems if you're patient enough. That one insightful presentation, a prospect you meet at the buffet, or that overdressed corporate executive that uncontrollably dances on the table after having a beer too many at the afterparty 🍺. They're the moments that can make even the most mismatched event worthwhile. Last week at South Summit that highlight for me was the keynote by Mateo Nicolás Salvatto, a 25 years young entrepreneur from Argentina. His company built an app called Hablalo, that helps people with difficulties to communicate verbally and with hearing problems to handle daily life with greater ease. He showed us that making real impact in the end is about what YOU can do for an actual other human being ♥️. And so, perhaps I found my answer after all. AI is not going to make us more human in the same way that cars didn’t make us spend less time traveling. It might change the context, but the choice to be more human is ours to make! #AI #TechEvents #SocialImpact
