AI & The Culture Is Back In Person at Salesforce
We're back for another edition of AI & The Culture IRL in partnership with Salesforce. This is yet another incredible in-person gathering, hosted at the Salesforce offices in New York City and sponsored by Boldforce.
This Month We Present...
Plan Your Best Year With AI
Join the community for an interactive planning session to reflect on the past year, identify your biggest opportunities, and build an AI-powered roadmap for the year ahead.
Before we rush into a new year with another list of goals, lets get clear about what were actually building.
What worked this year? What didnt? What deserves more of your energy? And where could AI help you turn those intentions into action?
For our final AI & The Culture meetup of the year, were bringing the community together for an interactive planning and reflection session designed to help you look back, think forward, and build a roadmap for what comes next.
This isnt about asking AI to magically plan your life. Its about using these tools as thought partnersto help you reflect, uncover patterns, explore possibilities, make decisions, and turn big ambitions into actionable next steps.
Together well explore:
How to use AI to reflect on your wins, lessons, challenges, and unfinished business from the past year
Prompts that help you identify opportunities you might be overlooking
How to turn big goals into realistic projects, milestones, and next steps
Ways to use AI as a strategic thought partner for your creative work, career, business, or personal projects
How to identify where AI and automation can give you back time in the year ahead
Building a personalized AI-powered roadmap you can actually use after you leave the room
And because this is AI & The Culture, were making space for something AI cant replace: community.
Youll have an opportunity to reflect alongside other creatives, founders, educators, artists, technologists, and curious mindsto exchange ideas, share what youre building, and potentially meet the people who can help you move it forward.
The goal isnt to leave with 47 resolutions.
Its to leave with clarity, priorities, and a plan.
Who Should Attend?
Creators and content makers
Filmmakers, writers, artists, and storytellers
Educators and community builders
Entrepreneurs, founders, and solopreneurs
Marketers, strategists, and creative professionals
Technologists and AI enthusiasts
Anyone ready to be more intentional about what theyre building next
Whether you already have your next year mapped out or youre still staring at a blank page wondering where to begin, youre welcome here.
Come Ready to Build
This one is especially hands-on, so come prepared to participate.
Bring your laptop
Bring a notebook or something to write with
Bring a few goals, ideas, or questions youve been thinking about for the year ahead
Bring your curiosity and a willingness to share
Well be working through reflection exercises, AI prompts, and planning activities togetherso you can leave with the beginnings of a roadmap, not just another page of notes.
Come ready to reflect. Come ready to plan. Come ready to build.
