30 Attendees per day

The Saloon Format
AI Week is designed as a Saloon — an intimate, invitation-only format inspired by TED Salons.
Each session seats 30 people max. No auditorium. No passive watching. Every day opens with a curated fireside chat or expert conversation, then shifts into hands-on work where attendees are part of the session, not just the audience. The room is intentionally small because the conversations we're trying to have don't happen in crowds. Expect to talk, build, question, and leave with something you can actually use.
MONDAY
AI in the Public Square
Government & Community
TUESDAY
AI Career & Entrepreneurship
Upgrade Workforce, Careers & Business
WEDNESDAY
Small Business, Big Tools: AI in Your Workflow Entrepreneurs
THURSDAY
Proof of Work: AI Certifications That Open Doors + Happy Hour Finale
