Lens & Frontier - Appen Happy Hour at CVPR

​Lens & Frontier - An Appen Happy Hour at CVPR 2026

​Where computer vision meets Colorado culture.

​Join Appen for an intimate evening of art, AI, and conversation at the Colorado Photographic Arts Center - one of Denver's most distinctive venues for a night that blends the cutting edge of machine perception with the craft of human photography.

​The Experience

​Step into Western Cowboy: Reloaded, a striking contemporary exhibition curated by Samantha Johnston, featuring six Colorado photographers reimagining the mythology of the American West. Then step in front of our custom AI-powered photo booth for a generative portrait that's yours to share and take home, printed on-site.

​In between, connect with the researchers, engineers, founders, and AI leaders shaping the future of computer vision, multimodal systems, and robotics.
