Yonkers Neurons and Lattes Networking

Mon, Oct 26, 12:15 AM

From Neural Networks and Social Coffee Chats

Join us for our next gathering of the Yonkers Neurons and Lattes Networking group. This is a relaxed, informal space for anyone working in or interested in the field of neural networks and artificial intelligence to step away from the screen and talk shop in person. Whether you are a researcher, an engineer, or someone just starting to dive into machine learning, the goal here is simple: to connect with local peers and share ideas over a good cup of coffee. There is no formal agenda or presentation, just a friendly group of people interested in discussing the latest developments in AI and how these technologies are shaping our work. We meet at a local coffee shop in Yonkers to keep things comfortable and low-pressure, making it easy to drop in, grab a seat, and join the conversation. If you are looking to build your local professional network or just want to meet others in the community, we would be happy to have you join us. We try to keep our headcounts accurate to ensure everyone has a seat, so please take a moment to RSVP if you think you can make it. We look forward to seeing some familiar faces and meeting a few new ones.

Yes, users can start their own Meetup groups for any interest or professional area. Gather like-minded individuals by promoting your group effectively.

Meetup is focused on group activities, not individual matchmaking. It's designed to foster communities rather than 1-on-1 connections.

Leave a group by visiting the group's page, selecting 'You’re a member', and then choosing to leave the group. It will remove your association.

You're not required to attend every group's event. Participate as it suits your schedule, allowing flexibility while exploring different opportunities.

Smaller cities might see fewer group activities. In such cases, consider starting a new group or joining virtual meetups to broaden engagement.
