New Member Mixer & Community Orientation
Jul 1
•
12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Who are YOU outside of AI? The New Member Mixer is our monthly “get to know you” session inside the Salon, and all members are welcome. It’s a space to introduce yourself, tell us who you are outside of AI, and also learn your way around the AI Salon. If you’re brand new here, this is a low-pressure way to meet new folks in the community. No prep, no AI fluency required. If you’re an existing member but looking for a way to reconnect, this is a space for you too! Looking forward to meeting you ✨

Drop-In Advocacy & Policy Chat Beginning February 2, we will be hosting 30-minute drop-in advocacy and policy chats on Google Meet, every other week. These sessions are an open door for AI Salon members who are building, shipping, teaching, or deploying AI and want a clearer read on what’s happening in policy right now and how it connects to your work. This is not a lecture and not a pitch meeting. Think of it as a working conversation space. Use these chats to: Sense-check a policy concern tied to your product or use case Ask how current bills, hearings, or regulatory conversations might affect you Pressure-test an advocacy idea before taking it further Share what you’re seeing on the ground so we can carry real stories into policymaker conversations No prep required.
