Build Different: AI, Community & the Future of Work

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. Newark, let's build!

Info: Explore how AI is reshaping career pathways and how participants can position themselves for the jobs of tomorrow.

Info: A candid, in-depth conversation exploring the intersection of AI, equity, and community — who technology is built for, who it leaves behind, and what it looks like to build differently. Panel features: Karen Brown-Stovell, Steve Jones, Jasfel Analytics, Gary Mann

Info: As artificial intelligence reshapes how we communicate, work, and connect, it's also changing the threat landscape — making scams smarter, surveillance more powerful, and misinformation harder to detect. This hands-on workshop equips everyday people with the tools and awareness to protect themselves in an AI-driven world.
