CLE AI & DATA Annual Event

The future of AI isn't coming. It's being built right now, and the people building it are coming to Cleveland.
About this Event

Join us in person for a day of high-signal conversations on the questions that actually matter: agentic AI, responsible development, and the governance frameworks shaping what comes next. You'll hear directly from leaders at AWS, Nutanix, OpenAI, Arista Networks, and Further, five organizations operating at the frontier of this work, and then keep the conversation going with a room full of practitioners, builders, and decision-makers who do this every day.
This is the largest gathering of Northeast Ohio's AI and data community, and it reflects our mission: to make AI more accessible to everyone. Whether you're setting AI strategy for your organization or just getting started, this is where the region comes to think out loud about what's real, what's hype, and what to do about it. Expect substantive talks from people who are shaping the field, sponsor booths and demo tables to get hands-on with the latest tools, and dedicated networking time with peers facing the same decisions you are. Food and a cash bar will be available throughout.
The event is free, made possible by our sponsors: CrossComm, EOXVantage, SkillSpout, and Cisco. To help offset the cost of an event this size, we encourage a donation of $5 to $10 per ticket when you register. Every contribution goes directly toward keeping AI accessible and this gathering open to all.
Giveaway: 6 months of Claude Pro

One attendee is going home with a six month Claude Pro subscription, roughly over $100 value. It's our small way of backing what this community is about: making AI accessible to everyone, not just the people who can expense it.

To enter, scan the QR code posted at the event to grab your entry ticket. It's free, takes a few seconds, and there's nothing to buy. We'll draw the winner live from the stage near the end of the night.

You do need to be there in person to win. If we call your ticket and you're not in the room, we'll draw again, so grab your entry early and stick around for the announcement.
