AI is the most transformative technology of our time, yet decisions about its future are being shaped by a small group of people. As AI becomes embedded in our daily lives, the voices of young people, families, educators, and community members matter more than ever. Join us for an inclusive, intergenerational gathering where we explore what is at stake, what is possible, how we can collectively shape a more humane and equitable future in the age of AI.

• AI and Us Showcase — Discover how young people, researchers, and community organizations are shaping AI for humanity.
• Town Hall Conversations — Hear from thought leaders and youth voices on why our participation in AI’s future is not optional.
• Community Commitment Wall — Add your hope or promise for a future where everyone belongs in the story of AI
