SUMMARY:Phone a (AI) Friend with Anthropic
DESCRIPTION:**THIS EVENT IS SOLD OUT** \n Chances are\, designers have been playing with AI or hearing about it far more than they have actually spoken to someone working on the technology. This talk provides a rare opportunity for designers to step directly into conversation with the experts researching  and developing the AI technologies that are transforming creative industries. This event offers unprecedented access to the minds behind the algorithms. \nThis isn’t another AI showcase—it’s privileged access to meaningful conversations that typically happen behind closed doors\, recognizing designers as co-creators in tomorrow’s technologies.\n \nBeverages and snacks will be provided! \n\nSCHEDULE \n\n5:30 Doors Open\n6:30 Event Begins\n8:30 Event Ends\n\n*Address and instructions will be been emailed to REGISTERED ATTENDEES. \n
