We close out ThinkAI in style with our ThinkAI Networking Mixer + Startup Pitches, an evening of relaxed conversation, light refreshments, and sponsor highlights. During the mixer, select startup founders will take the stage for live 10-minute pitches, giving attendees the chance to vote for their favorite. It’s the perfect blend of networking, inspiration, and friendly competition — a celebration of innovation and collaboration to end the day.
