Fresh ideas. Local talent. A fall evening of AI innovation. Join AI Collective Chicago for a Demo Night featuring 4–6 presenters sharing what they’re building—from creative AI projects to emerging business ideas, or it could be something experimental that's shaping up. An expert panel of judges from Chicago’s founder and investment community—including founders, VCs, and representatives from investment firms, private funds—will offer feedback and fresh perspectives. As the leaves turn, let’s come together to celebrate the ideas and people helping Chicago’s startup, founder, and builder community thrive and grow. Come for the demos. Stay for the connections.
