A.I. x Library (Norfolk)

The future isn't coming — it's already being written. The question is who's holding the pen.

Hosted by Dream Machine Innovation Lab and Chime, this is a full day of workshops, conversations, and creative experimentation at the intersection of artificial intelligence and real life. We'll dig into how AI is reshaping the way we work, build wealth, and make art. We'll ask who benefits, who's left out, and what it actually takes to turn digital energy into collective power.

This isn't a tech conference. It's a community reckoning — with tools in hand and eyes wide open. Come ready to imagine, create, challenge, and connect with people who believe technology should serve people, not the other way around.

One day. Big questions. Real skills. Norfolk, let's build.

Info: This workshop is an invitation to step outside the urgency of today and genuinely imagine tomorrow — the future of how we work, how we rest, and what we decide to value. Through facilitated conversation, creative exercises, and a little productive disagreement, we'll explore what work could mean in a world reshaped by automation and climate, and which futures feel worth fighting for.

Info: This workshop equips entrepreneurs, finance professionals, and business-minded individuals with practical AI skills tailored to the world of finance.

Info: We're living through a creative revolution — but who's driving it, who's profiting from it, and who's being left out? This hybrid session pairs hands-on experimentation with AI tools for image, music, and video generation with an unflinching look at what those tools cost: the artists whose work trained them without consent, the workers moderating their outputs in invisible labor, the carbon burned to generate a single image, and the biases baked into what they consider beautiful, normal, or worth making.

Info: We've never been more connected — or more politically stuck. This fishbowl explores the gap between digital engagement and civic power: what makes an online moment actually move people, and what keeps it trapped as content? A small group speaks, the rest witnesses and rotates in — together mapping a path from the attention economy toward something that actually builds collective agency.
