ShropGeek Artificial Intelligence Takeover

We're back for a new event this October. After taking a break for 2 years, we wanted to reach out to the technology community of Shropshire with an evening of speakers, networking and socialising.

But why now? The reason is simple: the AI industry has undergone a seismic shift in the past 24 months alone. OpenAI's release of ChatGPT has been a catalyst for this explosion, sparking widespread interest and investment in artificial intelligence across industries. And at the heart of it all lies one key innovation: generative AI.

Generative AI has shown us what's possible when machine learning meets creativity. From generating human-like conversations to creating visual art that rivals human capabilities, these technologies are redefining the boundaries between humans and machines. The implications are profound, and we believe it's essential to bring this community together to explore, discuss, and learn from the experts in the field.

Our event will feature a lineup of speakers who have been at the forefront of AI innovation, sharing their insights on the latest developments and breakthroughs. From the potential applications in healthcare and education to the ethics and societal implications of generative AI, we'll delve into the biggest questions surrounding this rapidly evolving technology.

But it won't just be about listening – our event is designed for networking, socialising, and collaboration. We'll provide ample opportunities for attendees to connect with like-minded professionals, share their own experiences, and explore potential partnerships or collaborations.

So mark your calendars for October and join us as we dive into the world of artificial intelligence! Whether you're a seasoned AI expert or just curious about this exciting field, our event promises to be an unforgettable evening of learning, growth, and connection.

Our venue is the Cats Pyjamas Cafe in the Square, Shrewsbury, so why not come along, make some friends and learn something new from our speakers.
