# Midwest AI Collective : Think. Build. Share.
A practical meetup for professionals implementing AI in business, products, and operations. We meet to work through real challenges, explore what AI can actually do for your work, and learn from each other's experience—no lectures, just hands-on collaboration and practical guidance.
All experience levels are welcome. New to AI? That's fine. Bring your questions.
## Ground Rules
No prior AI experience required
Share freely
You can contribute, ask, or just listen—no one is put on the spot
We discuss vendor tools for fit and trade-offs only—no sales pitches
## Format
Focused Talk (15–20 min)
Open Exchange (40–50 min)
Takeaways (5–10 min)
## Who Should Come
You're using AI at work—or figuring out how to start
You have questions, challenges, or want to explore what's possible
You want practical insight and peer input, not hype
You're open to sharing what you're learning
## What to Bring
A question, challenge, or decision you're working on
Examples of what you've tried (or are considering)
A brief description of what you're trying to do and what success looks like—no sensitive details needed
Openness to learn from others
Laptop optional but useful!
## What You'll Get
