IA•AI (Iowa Artificial Intelligence) - September 2026 - One-Year Anniversary: Looking Back Yet Building Forward

​***This month's program***

​September marks one year of IA•AI!

​What began in 2025 as a gathering of AI enthusiasts has grown into a thriving community of business leaders, entrepreneurs, developers, educators, and technologists exploring one of the most significant technological shifts of our generation.

​Over the past year, we’ve explored practical AI tools, governance, coding workflows, business use cases, agentic systems, ethics, automation, and much more. More importantly, we’ve built relationships, exchanged ideas, and learned from one another as AI continues to evolve at an incredible pace.

​Join us as we celebrate IA•AI’s first anniversary with an interactive meetup of reflection, discussion, and conversation about where we’ve been—and where AI is taking us next.

​The IA•AI co-founders will lead a panel discussion on the biggest lessons, surprises, successes, and challenges from our first year together. We’ll also open the floor for questions, audience discussion, and predictions for the year ahead as AI continues to reshape business, our communities, and our daily lives.

​Whether you’ve attended every meetup, joined us recently, or are considering your very first IA•AI event, this is a great opportunity to connect with the community and help shape what comes next.

​Come celebrate our first year—and help launch the next one.
