**Join Us For Our Upcoming Meet Up!** Everyone's talking about AI. Fewer people are talking about what it actually looks like when you use it in your day job, in your business, or when the legislation lands on your desk. That's what this evening is about. We will be welcoming 2 incredible speakers (TBD), introducing our new speaker program & enjoying some festive surprises for the holiday season! Stay tuned for speaker announcements to come! **Who we are** Manchester AI Collective started with a simple idea: AI shouldn't feel like a closed room. Our mark is a honeycomb holding three connected nodes, a nod to Manchester's worker bee and to the people who make up this community. Three different founders. Three different starting points. All connected, all building the same thing. That's what we're here to do: give anyone curious about AI, whatever their background, experience or starting point, a place to learn, ask questions without judgement, and connect with people figuring it out alongside them. No gatekeeping, no jargon required to walk in the door. We run regular meetups, beginner-friendly sessions and community events across Manchester, built and led by three women who wanted the AI conversation to include more voices, not fewer. Manchester AI Collective is proudly powered by ANS. **Learn. Connect. Build. Together.** **A few bits of housekeeping** 📸 Photos will be taken throughout the event and may be used to promote the group and future events.
