Grassroots Tech Community Meetup - September

We are bringing together technologists from across Chicagoland for real, in-person connection. Founders, engineers, product builders, designers, data professionals, students, investors, and anyone interested in technology are welcome. No pitches, panels, or long presentations. Just useful conversations, new ideas, and people worth meeting. This month: 60-second AI open mic We are bringing back the Grassroots open mic. Community members will have 60 seconds to share one useful AI skill, tool, technique, workflow, or lesson. You do not need to be an AI expert or prepare a presentation. Bring one practical idea that someone else can try. What to expect: About our sponsor About Clarifeye | Follow Clarifeye Clarifeye captures the unwritten knowledge sitting in your experts' heads and turns it into a knowledge store your AI can actually use. Most AI projects stall because the important stuff was never written down. Clarifeye fixes that part. Ken Sanford, who runs go-to-market at Clarifeye, will join us at the meetup. Ken has a Ph.D. in economics from the University of Kentucky and has worked in enterprise AI at SAS, H2O.ai, and Dataiku.
