The GenAI Collective began back in February as a small group of friends gathering in a cozy San Francisco living room to discuss the week’s latest news and advancements in AI. I don’t think any of us expected these conversations to grow beyond this intimate setting. And in many ways, it hasn’t! Yes, this group of friends has grown a little in size and heart, but the passion and purpose remains the same! This community was founded on the belief that the most meaningful connections are made when exploring a shared curiosity together, and that meaningful relationships lead to meaningful outcomes. Bring exceptional people together in purposeful ways and INCREDIBLE things happen! 🤩 Thank you to EVERYONE who has helped make the GenAI Collective’s first ten months and 50 events possible! • Organizers: Chappy Asel, Pierce Kelaita, Stephen Campbell, Amin Akhtar, Mihir Somaiya, Thomas Joshi, Haroun Ahmed, Kirill Skobelev, Matt Huang, Eric Fett, Aqeel A., Matt White, Weber W., Gavin M. Doughtie, Rui Ma, Yang Tang, and Coco Chen! • Repeat discussion group leaders: Sam Iglesias, Casey A. Fitzpatrick, Dan Klempay, Claire Xue, Brad Dressler, Steven Echtman, and Karan Grewal! • Partners and friends: Ramsey Salah-Mars, Nosayaba Okungbowa, Brittany Carambio, Tevon Strand-Brown, Ryan Fauber, Valentina Escudero, May Wang, Dr. Megan Ma, Jay Mandal, James Le, Arun Gupta, Gregory Raiz, Angela Brown, Zubin Bharti Mittal, Derick En'Wezoh, MD, MBA, and so many more that we couldn't mention because of LinkedIn's cap! 🥲 Our hearts seriously could not be more full of appreciation and gratitude right now. What an exciting time we are living in and here’s to an exponential 2024! 🫶 P.S. This is a true labor of love and we are always looking to involve new leaders who share our passion for community building. If this sounds like you, please get in touch! 😄

Last night's event with The GenAI Collective not only marks the beginning of a community, but also a celebration of innovation, collaboration, and the exciting future of generative AI. To everyone who turned up to the kickoff event for the Boston chapter of GenAI Collective last night, thank you for your insights and contributions to our discussions. To the people who demo'd their project, thank you for assisting me in transferring the SF energy to Boston. And without Chappy, Pierce, Stephen, and Sam Warach helping me orchestrate the event, none of this would have been possible. Thank you Sam Rowe and Æthos for providing us with a great venue! See you again soon, Jonan @ The GenAI Collective

The GenAI Collective’s Seattle chapter kickoff event was an especially reminiscent one for me! 🥹 A small digression: the well of memories from my four years in the PNW studying CS at UW came flooding back as I visited old friends and places. Visiting my college hometown was a keen reminder of just how rapidly life grows and changes! THANK YOU to everyone in the Seattle AI community for joining us on Tuesday! This was my absolute favorite type of event: four themed roundtable discussion groups to share ideas about AI in the physical world, scaling AI for enterprise, research to productization of AI, and the role of big data! Huge shoutout to Kulbir Singh for spearheading the formation of the GenAI Collective’s Seattle chapter! So excited to support you in creating an awesome new community in the PNW! Thank you as well to Madrona and specifically Matt McIlwain, Sabrina Wu, and Rolanda Fu for the instrumental assist! Seattle, I already miss you!!
