The Cincy AI Week Community Events Calendar Is Live
From sunrise coffee meetups to hands-on hacking, the region's AI community is showing up all week. Here's how to find your room, and how to add your own event to the lineup.
Enterprise Technology Association · Cincy AI Week
Cincy AI Week has always been bigger than the mainstage. It is a regional moment, and the community around it is what makes Cincinnati's AI ecosystem worth showing up for. This year, that energy now has a home: the Cincy AI Week Community Events Calendar.
The calendar brings together everything happening across Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky during the week, from featured ETA programming to community-hosted meetups, workshops, and socials. Filter by what you are looking for, whether that is learning, networking, or community building, and find the events that fit how you want to spend your week.
Community events are open to everyone. Many are free, and most do not require a Cincy AI Week conference ticket. Each listing links straight to its own registration page, so you can lock in your spot in a couple of clicks.
