​Re:Gen AI event

​A free evening about AI, for the people who are curious about it

​People sometimes don't come to AI events because they figured everyone else already understood AI and they didn't.

​Re:Gen AI is different.

​High schoolers, uni students, people in the early years of their first job. If you're curious about AI, what the future holds but have questions, you'll fit right in. Bring questions and curiosity.

​We will have 3-4 10-minute talks from people who use AI in their actual jobs, a panel that takes your questions followed by dinner, drinks, and time to talk to someone and have some really good conversations.

​Who it's for

• ​High school students curious about AI

• ​University students, undergrad and postgrad

• ​Young professionals in their first few years

​No, you don't need to be tech-savvy. Our sessions are designed for anyone who are curious.

​Speakers

​To be announced soon.

​We're locking in 3-4 people who use AI in the real world, across industry and research. One of them joins us from our headline sponsor, Enlighten Designs!! They will show you how AI is helping real business work.

​About The Host

​My three children were born and bred in Waikato. Since I started Machine Learning in 2016, I have seen the leaps and bounds in AI. So I founded InspiraEd to empower schools, SMEs and non-profit organizations in AI.

​Hosted by InspiraEd, the AI Collective with the Singularity AI Club, at the University of Waikato.
