CLE AI & DATA Annual Event @ #CLETechWeek26

About this event

The future of AI isn't coming. It's being built right now, and the people building it are coming to Cleveland. Join us in person for a day of high-signal conversations on the questions that actually matter: agentic AI, responsible development, and the governance frameworks shaping what comes next. You'll hear directly from leaders at AWS, Nutanix, OpenAI, Arista Networks, and Further, five organizations operating at the frontier of this work, and then keep the conversation going with a room full of practitioners, builders, and decision-makers who do this every day. This is the largest gathering of Northeast Ohio's AI and data community, and it reflects our mission: to make AI more accessible to everyone. Whether you're setting AI strategy for your organization or just getting started, this is where the region comes to think out loud about what's real, what's hype, and what to do about it. Expect substantive talks from people who are shaping the field, sponsor booths and demo tables to get hands-on with the latest tools, and dedicated networking time with peers facing the same decisions you are. Food and a cash bar will be available throughout. 5:00pm-6:30pm > Networking, Pizza & Sponsors6:30pm-6:45pm > Announcements6:45pm-8:15pm > Talks8:15pm-8:30pm > Closing Remarks The event is free, made possible by our sponsors: CrossComm, EOXVantage, SkillSpout, and Cisco.
