🧠 The AI Collective | Kingston Chapter Launch!
🎉 Welcome to the soft launch of the GenAI Collective | Kingston Chapter!
We’re kicking off a new era of AI collaboration in Kingston!
This relaxed coffee chat marks the beginning of something bigger: a long-term vision to build a vibrant AI community and talent pipeline in Kingston.
Come hang out with fellow AI-curious students, researchers, builders, and tech enthusiasts. Whether you’re deep into machine learning research or just getting started with ChatGPT — you’re welcome here.
🚀 Why We’re Here
Kingston is full of incredible minds — but there’s no unified space where AI enthusiasts, researchers, and creators gather outside of class. We’re changing that.
The AI Collective has launched chapters in Toronto, Austin, San Francisco, and beyond. Now, it’s Kingston’s turn. Our mission?
To connect and empower the next generation of AI leaders at Queen’s — and build a local ecosystem that lasts.
🔮 What to Expect
☕ Casual community-building over coffee
💬 Conversations about AI, creativity, and careers
🧠 Idea prompts to spark connection and collaboration
