"We are social people. We need to be with people, we need to celebrate people, we need to celebrate the joy of work again."?– Bill McDermott, CEO of ServiceNow Amazing interview! This quote from the?ACQ2 by Acquired?podcast resonated deeply with me as an event leader. In a world where we’re constantly connected to devices but increasingly disconnected from each other,?events create the space for real human connection. This is why I got into events—to bring people together, to foster trust, to spark ideas that can only come from in-person interactions. No device can replace the energy of a room filled with people learning, collaborating and building something bigger than themselves. If you're working to build community, culture and connection in a digital world, I'd love to hear how you're thinking about this.

Maximizing In-Person Events for Real Business Growth Relationships drive business—period. I recently shared how cultivating connections shaped my career and the response was overwhelming. One key takeaway? The same principles apply to driving revenue. Strong relationships don’t just happen; they’re built. And when it comes to forging meaningful connections,?nothing beats in-person events. According to a?2024 study,?52% of business leaders agree event marketing drives ROI more than any other marketing channel. But let’s be real: Not all events are worth your time or budget. With endless options and limited resources, how do you choose the right ones? How do you ensure they deliver measurable results—not just a pile of business cards? Having spent years as an in-house event expert building event strategies across industries, I’ve tested what works and what doesn’t. Now, being on the other side, as my team scales a?tier-1 event series?over the next few years, we’re applying those lessons to help clients build strategies that deliver long-term results and achieve?real, trackable business outcomes. ???I put together a quick guide on how to pick the right events, maximize engagement and measure success.?Check it out and let me know your thoughts in the comments.

We are one year old! ??? ? Last December, 57 global organizations came together to build, enable, and advocate for open source innovation in #AI. Today, we’re 140+ members strong and are just getting started! Over the last year, we’ve hit the following milestones:? ? ? 93 active projects? ? 1,200 collaborators? ? 12 working groups? ? 5 published AI Alliance Guides to AI?? ? 30 events attended by 20,000 people? ? To commemorate our one-year anniversary, we are committing to scale up the breadth of our reach and impact by 10x going into 2025. As part of this, we’re announcing two new major initiatives – our Trust and Safety Evaluation Initiative and our Open Trusted Data Initiative – to help bolster our work promoting open source ecosystems and ensure that the future #AI landscape is rooted in safety, ethics, and a shared vision for the greater good. 2024 has been a strong first year for the AI Alliance, and we want to thank everyone who made it possible! ? ??

If you're in San Jose or nearby in the Valley - come by the live demo event we're hosting tonight by Hipercode and the team B3 Alliance, Inc. sponsored by Intel Corporation @ 5:30-9 PM PST! We have incredible partners including Raymond Lo ???? of Intel AI that will be showcasing OpenVINO and AI PCs + Vasudev Lal from Intel Labs, all joining when they can escape the booth + thank you to Adrian Boguszewski that worked on a fun demo of an AI drink creator (both N/A and not). We're proud to have The AI Alliance represented by Sujee Maniyam of Node51 LLC demoing and answering questions about open source data-prep-kit by IBM. A crucial step in data orchestration for the enterprise, requiring more and more compute in a key step for AI deployment. Dave Anderson of EdgeRunner AI will showcase Athena. Athena offers a revolutionary AI solution bringing an AI copilot experience to any Intel client device, helping companies deploy in new and more effective ways. Levon Budagyan, CEO of Waveye will be running a live demo of “The eyes that see in every condition” showcasing their Waveye A1 Radar, and camera that companies can deploy in a variety of verticals for automation and more. Join us as it should be an insightful time + got a taco truck ??. Admission's free, drinks and food included. If you do not like tacos, please do not follow or connect.

Had a blast at The AI Alliance event in SF last night @ GitHub! Big thanks to Dave Nielsen and Chris Churilo of Zilliz for organizing a great event. * Amit Sangani of Meta talked about the open-sourcing of Llama and its scale. Meta's utilization of 16K+ massive GPU clusters to push open source models to developers is remarkable, especially considering most incumbents rely on paid cloud services. Kudos, and it shows in Llama's 10x growth numbers + growing partner network. * AITOMATIC showcased the rise of AI agents highlighting the potential for enterprise adoption. Chris Nguyen and Shruti Raghavan discussed the applications across industries, from semi-conductor development, to skills pickup for enterprise continuity. * Zhuo Li gave a talk about how the team at Hyrdox Ai is developing safer AI Model architectures. * Jed Pitera showcased models made by IBM for incredible cases like molecular engineering and new chemicals. + Nice touch with the Github repo spinner giveaways. If you're in the Bay Area, check out the IBM + The AI Alliance booths at AI Conference Tuesday/today and join our event in San Jose on Wed/tomorrow at the AI Summit backed by Intel AI, and check out a demo of IBM's Data Prep tool by Sujee Maniyam! Data cleanup and wrangling for enterprise (large, unstructured) can often require as much - or even more compute - than training itself. The Data Prep demo we'll be hosting tomorrow will demonstrate a myriad of benefits at this crucial step. Links in the comments. #AI #AIAlliance #Meta #LLaMa #AITOMATIC #IBM #IntelAI
