Many people assume the AI economy is just a faster version of the digital economy, or they think "it's just a souped up Internet" ... but isn’t.



In fact, the two economies couldn't be more fundamentally different.

Misunderstanding these economies is the difference between staying ahead or getting left behind.


Come learn how the AI economy reshapes jobs, industry, education, and everyday life (so YOU can make more informed decisions for your work, your family, and your future).
  • Digital Economy vs. AI Economy:
    What’s the Actual Difference (and Why The Distinction Matters)
  • Being "Tech Savvy" Won't Help You
    (& Why This Shift Feels So Fast & So Confusing)
  • What’s Already Changing
    (Even If You Don’t Work in Tech)
  • Northern Virginia Contexts
    (What's Happening Now)
  • Practical Takeaways for Everyday People

This Event Is Best For:
  • Working adults and professionals who feel uncertain about how AI is affecting jobs, hiring, and workplace expectations
  • Parents and caregivers trying to understand how AI is shaping education, learning, and their children’s futures
  • Educators and librarians looking for clearer language and frameworks to explain AI beyond buzzwords
  • Job seekers and career-transitioners navigating a rapidly shifting labor landscape
  • Community members and residents of Northern Virginia who want to understand how regional AI growth affects everyday life
  • Non-technical audiences ... no background in computer science or AI required



This FREE Event Is Not Specifically For:
  • People seeking hands-on AI tool training
  • Advanced technical or coding instruction
  • Sales-oriented “how to profit from AI” sessions


Limited seating. First come, first serve.
