What we’re about
The AI Collective is a non-profit, grassroots community uniting 70,000+ pioneers – founders, researchers, operators, and investors – exploring the frontier of AI in major tech hubs worldwide. Through events, workshops, and community-led research, we empower the AI ecosystem to collaboratively steer AI’s future toward trust, openness, and human flourishing.
In Hampton Roads, our chapter brings that mission to life across Norfolk, Virginia Beach, and beyond – connecting technologists, creatives, students, and entrepreneurs through intimate meetups, hands-on workshops, and real-world collaborations that drive innovation in healthcare, defense, education, tourism, and the local economy. From fireside chats to industry demo nights, we’re building a trusted space for bold ideas, meaningful dialogue, and collective progress on AI’s cutting edge.
