The Artist’s Anxieties How creatives can survive (and thrive) in the AI Revolution
2023-06-06 12:30 - 13:30
Is AI the new artist? Instead of answering that question, creative coach, entrepreneur and art collector Sonya Yu discusses what’s lost during the creative process when generative computers replace human hands, hearts, and minds—and how creatives can move from a place of anxiety to empowerment in the nascent AI revolution.
If you are an artist or creative nervous about AI and ChatGPT will impact your practice and livelihoods; entrepreneurs and collectors committed to supporting creative practices while embracing innovation then this event is for you!

HCI: Human Connection Interaction
2023-06-06 12:30 - 13:30
Leave your titles at the door, and arrive with curiosity in your heart. This gathering is a chance to get to know each other for who you really are without your job title, achievements, accomplishments, or other markers of status and success. First names only. No job titles or company names. For one hour, you’ll step into an altered reality where you’ll learn about others and allow yourself to be known not for “what you do” but for who you are — as humans who have triumphed over the twists and turns of your life. You will be immersed in others’ stories, and you’ll bless them by sharing your own. This guided conversation is an experience of uncommon authenticity and you might discover that this co-created experiment is your favorite interaction of the week. If you crave openness, intimacy, kindness, and you have a willingness to try new things, then this is absolutely for you.

How AI can help us express ourselves
2023-06-06 11:45 - 12:30
Join us for a lively discussion between Henri Liriani, Co-founder and CPO of Tome and Kathleen Chaykowski, Head of Integrated Comms about how AI can help us express ourselves.
TOME:
Our mission is to help anyone tell a compelling story. We’re building an AI-native storytelling format for work and ideas.
A collaborative AI partner,  right at your fingertips. Use artificial intelligence to generate entire narratives, transform your documents into presentations, or add additional pages in seconds. Create compelling images with our DALL·E tile, tailor-made to bring your idea to life.
Build a powerful story  with any type of content.
Your narrative deserves more than text and images. Easily share a prototype, add 3D renderings, trim a video, or embed live content from the web to make your point more compelling.
Frictionless creation meets magic design.
Focus on your idea, and Tome will take care of the rest. Drag-and-drop creation, responsive pages, and one-click themes mean you don’t waste time aligning content or applying brand colors.
Live, interactive content from the web.
Embed anything from the web, in one place. Live integrations with your favorite tools like Figma let you showcase your existing work as a connected part of your story.
Video narration that brings your story to life.
Native video recording lets you talk through a nuanced point or simply add a personal touch to your story, even async.
Easy sharing, for any screen.
Share a link to your tome with just one click. Tomes are designed to fit any device, so viewers aren’t stuck squinting or pinching to zoom.
Made to work, wherever you work.
With the Tome iOS app, you can seize a spark of inspiration or make a last minute edit right before the meeting. Your work syncs seamlessly across devices.
