AUG 19th AI SALON MMET & GREET – Special Edition! AI Readiness OFFICIAL LAUNCH
Hey AI Adventurers, AUG 19th SPECIAL Meet & Greet Meeting this week!
Summer is winding down, which means it’s back to using-AI-to-do-your-homework season. It’s been a busy summer of evolution here at the AI Salon, and we’re excited to share what’s just around the corner. Read on, Adventurers
Tuesday is a big day for us at The AI Salon. Not only do we have our monthly Meet & Greet, which is your chance to network with other AI Adventurers, but we are also officially launching our AI Readiness Training Program in conjunction with #SheLeadsAI! SPECIAL APPEARANCES from AI Festivus Speakers!To help us celebrate, several AI Festivus Alumnus will be joining us for the Meet & Greet. It all kicks off Tuesday, August 19th at 5PM MT. Save your spot here! ICYMI Brandon has been playing with Google’s new Storybook Gem, and Claire converted a comical OpenAI job posting into a song. Meanwhile, Gareth made a baseball image for his brother, and Vikki used Midjourney to commemorate the annual “Gravity Negotiation Fair.” Make something cool? Sharing is caring! Head over to LOOK What I Made and show us your stuff. A GIANT Thank You, A Familiar face, and an Opportunity for YOU?If you’ve been a part of our community for any length of time, you know that Vikki Baptiste has led the herculean effort of organizing our community and wrangling our wayward hosts. While Vikki will still be a valued member of our Mastermind (and co-leader of the Ethics Club), she has a number of exciting new ventures she is pursuing and has stepped down as Community Director. THANK YOU VIKKI for everything you have done to elevate the AI Salon community! While we will sorely miss your energy and expertise day-to-day, we know you're still around, and on behalf of our entire community, here's a heartfelt thank you for all that you've done to get and keep this AI-generated plane in the air. 50% of the New Community Roles are filled!While thinking about a suitable replacement, we quickly realized that Vikki did… A LOT for us. As such, we’ve temporarily bifurcated her role into two positions: Inbound and outbound communications. Inbound Comms: “Producer” Brandon Tidd has agreed to step up and help facilitate some of the internal routing and promoting of things at the Salon. WELCOME BRANDON! Outbound Comms: [COULD THIS BE YOU?] We are actively looking for someone who would be willing to assist with some of the ‘signal boosting’ of Salon events on social media. Does that sound like you? Drop Kyle a DM in the Salon, or email kyle@thesalon.ai for more information.
