Handpicked Live: Everyday AI Club #1
Curious about AI but aren’t really a tech nerd? Good! This is for you. Come hang out with people who are also trying to figure it out, get inspired by others and their use of the AI tools. And the most important: meet other curious people and exchange experience.
We curate the crowd strictly on an exclude-to-include principle: keeping the room mostly non-technical is what makes it work for non-technical people.
Your ticket funds refreshment for the evening. 🍻

What is this?
AI is moving way too fast and most of the conversation around it happens between engineers talking to other engineers. That leaves a lot of non-technical people out. We want to change that and provide a safe space for everyone wondering about what they can actually use AI for, how others are using it and what else is possible.
Bring your questions (also those you’ve been embarrassed to ask!) and leave with ideas you can try tomorrow.
Who is this for?
Non-technical people who are curious about AI. Anyone who uses AI or wants to but doesn't have a computer science degree, and isn't planning to get one.
Beginners are very welcome.
How will it work?
The evening has three parts:
Short keynote (15 minutes). A quick grounding talk to set the stage.
2 demos for inspiration. Two people will demo how they're actually using AI in their work and life.
Table discussions. We'll break into small groups led by table captains, each focused on a specific topic. This is where you swap experiences, trade tips, and learn what's working for others. Topics will include:
Personal Productivity
Marketing / Outreach Automation
Health and Wellness
Family
Creativity and Art
The goal is simple: a safe space to share, ask, and learn without feeling behind.
