AIR REGISTRATION

Welcome!
Thanks for registering for the upcoming AI Roundtable (AIR)!

Each interactive one-hour virtual session is designed for business leaders, entrepreneurs, and tech-savvy professionals interested in staying ahead of AI advancements. Participants engage in breakout discussions, knowledge-sharing, and networking with like-minded individuals passionate (and curious!) about AI’s impact on modern business.

The information below is provided to ensure everyone who joins knows what to expect, is comfortable, and can participate in the best way for them.

Everyone is welcome from AI novices to AI experts…from Kansas City to New York to Seattle…from all industries, roles, and experience levels.

We are glad you’re here!

What to Expect During the AI Roundtable:

  • AI Roundtables are not recorded or transcribed by the hosts or moderators. You can feel free to ask questions and share within the confines of the group, which ranges from 15 to 35 people.

  • Cameras are encouraged. (It’s okay if you’re eating lunch. We eat lunch in meetings all the time, right?)

  • Microphones will be muted when you enter. Please unmute when you’re ready to speak.

  • Engage in the Chat!

    • Please use the chat to ask questions, share, and comment. It will be monitored by the host and moderators in case you have questions.

    • Share your LinkedIn profile link in the chat if you’d like to connect with other AI enthusiasts.

    • You can save the chat. It The will be sent to everyone who joins the session—not to all registrants but to those who join.

  • Please use the “raise hand” emoji when you want to chime in during the open forum. Please understand that time might prevent everyone from sharing in the open forum though.

  • Check your tech in advance:

    • Is your internet connection working? Is your software going to do an automatic update?

    • Check your microphone, lighting, and Zoom settings to be sure you are most comfortable.

  • Be ready for breakout groups. AI Roundtables are where everyone engages v. a webinar where people watch/listen. You are welcome to engage as much or as little as you’d like.

  • Be comfortable and be yourself. There’s no expectation of AI expertise here. All are welcome here.
