About this Event
Join us for the first Philly AI Learning Exchange, a monthly lunchtime learning and networking series for people working in nonprofits, arts and culture, and small businesses.
The Exchange is especially for people who are figuring out how best to incorporate generative AI into their work without an IT team to provide guidance or support. It is a place to talk honestly about what we are trying, what has been useful, what has failed, and what we are still trying to understand. No technical expertise is needed.
Each one-hour session will be actively facilitated by Barbary Cook and will include structured opportunities to share experiences, learn from one another, and build relationships. Participants will leave with practical ideas from their peers, new connections, and a clearer sense of how others are approaching the possibilities and difficulties of AI. A WhatsApp or Signal group will help participants stay connected and share resources between sessions, and everyone will receive a short written summary afterwards.
