Upcoming Events
Generative AI
The impact on the Knowledge Worker and Creative Workplace
Generative Artificial Intelligence, such as ChatGPT, represents a new IT platform that is already proving to be as much of a paradigm shift as Social Media was in the 2000’s and Smartphones were in the 2010’s. But who will it most impact and how: students, researchers, financial analysts, script writers, visual artists, or designers? Will the new implementations of AI double our productivity or half the workforce? What are the security and privacy risks?
Join us for a keynote presentation from a leading Caltech professor followed by a panel discussion of this emerging transformation with leading researchers, business executives, investors, and entrepreneurs. That will be followed by an extended Q&A opportunity and plenty of networking.

Brain-Machine Interface
Fortune, fame, a healthier life, and the road yet to be traveled (not necessarily in that order)
A Brain–Machine Interface translates neuronal information into commands controlling external software or hardware such as a computer or robotic arm. They hold the promise helping people with motor or sensory impairments. They may one day provide treatment for people paralyzed by physical injuries or neurological disorders.
The cutting edge of the field has shown behaviors are dictated by intentions and has mapped intentions to areas of the brain like the posterior parietal cortex. Our exciting event is Keynoted by a world-class leader in the field along with a panel of entrepreneurs and investors who bring a unique practical perspective. After the panel discussion there will be audience Q&A along with networking afterward.
