WHAT WE BELIEVE

Learning happens
between people.

We create opportunities for practitioners, students, educators and local organizations to learn together and share practical experience.

OUR PURPOSE

Make technical learning accessible in Michigan.

Michigan Data & AI Community connects people across Detroit, Ann Arbor and Southeast Michigan through practitioner-led meetups, demos, conferences and student-oriented programs.

We focus on applied knowledge: what people built, what they learned, and how others can benefit. Platform communities may differ, but people and relationships are the connective thread.

We welcome new and experienced speakers, students, independent professionals, employers, universities, volunteers and sponsors.
