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 & sponsored by Boldforce.

This Month We Present...
Build Your Creative Operating System
Build a personalized AI workflow that supports your entire creative process-from capturing ideas to publishing finished work-so you're never starting from scratch.

Most of us don't have an idea problem. We have a system problem.

Ideas live in our Notes app. Research is scattered across browser tabs. Drafts are hiding in Google Docs. Inspiration gets screenshotted & forgotten. And every new project somehow feels like we're starting all over again.

What if your creative process actually remembered how you work?

At this month's AI & The Culture meetup, we're exploring how to build your own Creative Operating System-a personalized workflow that uses AI to help you capture ideas, organize knowledge, research, create, refine, & publish your work.

Instead of collecting more AI tools, we'll focus on connecting the ones that actually support your process.

Together we'll explore:

How to map your creative process from idea to finished work

Ways to capture & organize ideas so they don't disappear into the digital abyss

How AI can help you research, brainstorm, draft, edit, & refine your work

Building a personal knowledge base that makes past ideas & research useful again

How to connect AI tools into repeatable workflows instead of using them one at a time

Where automation can save time-and where your human judgment should stay firmly in the driver's seat

How to create a system that gets smarter & more useful the more you use it

The goal isn't to automate your creativity.

It's to build the infrastructure around your creativity so you have more time & energy for the work only you can do.

Expect a welcoming room filled with creators, technologists, educators, founders, artists, & curious minds ready to rethink how we organize & support our creative lives.

Who Should Attend?

Creators & content makers

Filmmakers, writers, artists, & storytellers

Educators & community builders

Entrepreneurs, founders, & solopreneurs

Marketers, strategists, & creative professionals

Technologists & AI enthusiasts

Anyone with too many ideas, too many tabs, & not enough systems

Whether your creative process is already organized or currently held together by screenshots, open tabs, & vibes, you're welcome here.

Come Ready to Build

This won't be a sit-back-and-scroll kind of evening.

Bring your laptop, something to write with, & a mindset ready to learn, experiment, & share. We'll be exploring ideas, tools, & workflows you can begin applying to your own creative process.

Bring your laptop

Bring a notebook or something to take notes with

Bring your curiosity & questions

Come ready to learn. Come ready to contribute. Come ready to build.

About AI & The Culture

AI & The Culture is a growing movement exploring the intersection of artificial intelligence, creativity, & culture.

Founded by Shirley Vernae Williams & King Willonius, we connect creatives of color, innovators, & culturally rooted creators through events, education, storytelling, & community.

We're building spaces where the people shaping culture can also help shape the future of AI.

This gathering represents the next chapter of AI & The Culture - grounded in community, focused on real-world use, & centered on learning together in the room.

Pull up with curiosity. Let's have the important conversations.
Let's build - together.
