ConnectSTL Quarterly Forum: Workforce + AI in St. Louis

ConnectSTL is St. Louis’ Digital Equity Coalition powered by St. Louis Development Corporation.

Join us for a quarterly forum focused on the future of workforce, AI, and digital equity in St. Louis.

As federal priorities, technology, and workforce needs continue to shift, this forum will bring together leaders, organizations, educators, workforce professionals, businesses, and community members to discuss what these changes mean locally and how St. Louis can stay prepared instead of falling behind.

Led by Digital Equity Manager Tanjii Cole, the conversation will cover emerging AI and workforce trends, regional collaboration opportunities, digital inclusion efforts, and updates connected to the ConnectSTL ecosystem and collaboration portal.
