ACE July Meetup: Monetization in the AI Era

Connect with other artists, creatives, technologists, and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of art, tech, and AI.

July's Topic: Monetization in the AI Era
(Turning your work into revenue.)

How do you monetize your work when the internet is flooded with cheap content? This month’s meetup focuses on shifting mindset to a value-driven pricing model, leveraging AI to build new revenue streams. Together, we will think through some of our most pressing questions about generating revenue in the age of AI.

We'll reserve plenty of time for open discussion and brainstorming on how you might apply these insights to your craft and business:

• How does the availability of generative AI change what clients are willing to pay for, and how do we pivot?
• How can we use AI to quickly prototype new offers, products, or services?
• Where does human-crafted work command a premium price tag, and how do we market that premium?

What to Expect:
We'll bring ice breakers and discussion prompts to get the conversation flowing. You bring your thoughts, experiences, and viewpoints. ACE meetups are a warm, collegial, and inviting space. All backgrounds, disciplines, and levels of experience will be respected and given space to express their perspectives, opinions, and concerns about the current state and future of the arts, AI, and technology.
