SUMMARY:AI Expo 2023 - Unveiling the AI Frontier: Your Passport to Three Hours of FREE Community AI Education!
DESCRIPTION:WENATCHEE\, WA – The 2023 AI Expo\, hosted collaboratively by the NCW Tech Alliance\, North Central ESD\, and the Apple STEM Network\, will be held on Thursday\, August 17\, from 12:30 – 5:00 pm at the Wenatchee Convention Center. This year marks a significant milestone as the AI EXPO transitions from an online event to an in-person format for the first time. The AI Expo is included in the NCESD STEM Summit\, running from August 15-17 at the Wenatchee Convention Center. \nThanks to the generosity of Microsoft\, the AI Expo is open to the business community and general public to attend for free. This eagerly awaited event will provide an inclusive platform for individuals from all walks of life to plug into the fascinating universe of Artificial Intelligence (AI)\, which is rapidly gaining ground in North Central Washington and beyond. \nThe core objective of this year’s AI Expo sessions is to foster an environment of connection and exploration\, focusing on the profound impact of AI on education\, workforce development\, and everyday life within rural communities. Featuring an engaging lineup of speakers and discussions\, participants will be immersed in community conversations aimed at addressing the myriad questions that arise in the context of AI integration. Speakers include: \nBen Bardsley\, BX: Ben is a driven and dynamic tech entrepreneur with extensive leadership and management experience. Ben started his career as an Officer in the British Army. He spent 5 years in the Welsh Guards Infantry regiment deploying to Afghanistan in 2012. After leaving the Army in 2013 Ben joined his family fruit farm as the 5th generation. He went on to transform his 130-year family fruit farming business Bardsley England\, growing it by 1400% over 8 years to become the UK second largest apple producer and then delivered a successful exit for his family in 2021. Whilst he was a fruit farmer\, it was clear to Ben that the food system was broken and needed transforming. This is where BX was born. Ben transitioned from being a farmer to a tech entrepreneur and is now building a climate tech platform that can support farmers in their environmental journey using data\, AI\, and FX exchanges to enable this transition. \n  \n\n\n\n\nJolenta Coleman-Bush\, Microsoft: Jolenta leads the Education & Workforce Development portfolio for Microsoft Philanthropies in Washington State.
