Upcoming Events
AI Show & Tell
Organized by the AI Innovation Council in Charlotte, the AI Show & Tell is an interactive night where 8–10 builders and hackers take the stage to share what they've been creating with AI. Each presenter gets a few minutes to demo a project, show off a prototype, or walk through an experiment. Expect a mix of practical tools, creative projects, automation, coding assistants, agents, research, and ideas that are still very much works in progress. The goal isn't polished presentations; it's sharing what everyone has learned. This event is made possible by the generous support of our partners: • Msg2ai • AI Ambassador • Tabbris • CLT Startup House • Piezaa
