Salt Lake Oasis Weekly Gathering - Talks, Music, and Great Conversation

Come be part of a community of individuals and families who value people more than beliefs. Some have said it's like going to a Ted talk with live music every Sunday. We meet at 11 AM Mountain Time in the Parker Theatre Studio at 3601 State Street, South Salt Lake. We would love to have you join us for some great topics and socializing!

This Sunday is a special treat as we will hear from Dr. Manish Parashar who is the inaugural Chief AI Officer for the University of Utah. He will be speaking to us about the One-U Responsible Artificial Intelligence Initiative.

Come join us for some coffee & snacks, live music, and this fascinating topic! We meet at Parker Studio Theatre at 11:00 am most Sundays.
Dr. Manish Parashar is the Director of the Scientific Computing and Imaging (SCI) Institute, Chair in Computational Science and Engineering, and Presidential Professor, Kalhert School of Computing at the University of Utah.
