SUMMARY:AI Connect — Build · Use · Explore
DESCRIPTION:### Overview\nAI Connect is a one day in-person event designed to bring together a diverse audience to engage with artificial intelligence in a practical\, understandable\, and social setting. The event focuses on three complementary tracks: Build\, Use\, and Explore\, offering a balanced program that appeals to AI developers\, everyday users\, students\, families\, and professionals who want to understand how AI works and how it can be used responsibly. The venue is RTU Science and Innovation Centre in Riga\, Latvia\, with August 22\, 2026 as the main date. Registration and participation are framed around learning\, hands on activities\, and networking rather than remote attendance. The event emphasizes collaboration among different groups and aims to make AI more accessible and relevant to a broad audience.\n\n### Agenda and Tracks\nAI Connect presents three distinct experiences in one day\, each designed to cater to different interests and expertise:\n- **Build track** – Deep technical sessions for AI engineers\, IT professionals\, data specialists\, and technology experts. The focus is on how AI solutions are created in practice\, covering data preparation\, model development\, integrations\, testing\, and deployment. Attendees can expect talks\, demonstrations\, and hands on sessions that illuminate real world development workflows.\n- **Use track** – Practical AI for work and business. This track targets people who want to understand how AI can help daily workflows\, decision making\, and operations. Content includes practical examples\, tools that can be adopted soon\, and case studies from various industries that illustrate concrete benefits and measurable outcomes.\n- **Explore zone** – Open and interactive experiences for students\, families\, and technology enthusiasts. Visitors can engage in demos and workshops designed to be approachable\, with a focus on hands on activities so attendees can see\, touch\, and understand AI concepts in a creative context.\n\n### What happens on the day\nThe program features a joint opening and three parallel tracks\, a demo zone\, hands on workshops\, expert conversations\, and ample time for networking. A demo zone provides live AI demonstrations and interactive exhibits\, while workshops offer guided exploration of tools and techniques. The event also includes opportunities to connect with potential partners\, sponsors\, speakers\, and other attendees in a collaborative environment. The schedule emphasizes balance between technical depth\, practical applications\, and accessible demonstrations to ensure value for a broad audience.\n\n### Format and audience\nThe event is structured to accommodate developers and technology professionals as well as curious newcomers\, families\, students\, and professionals from non technical fields. By design\, it blends talks\, demonstrations\, interactive activities\, and discussion time to foster honest conversations about AI capabilities\, limitations\, and responsible use. The day is described as a place to learn through experience\, with practical takeaways and real world examples that attendees can apply soon after the event.\n\n### Location and organizers\nAI Connect takes place at the RTU Science and Innovation Centre in Riga\, Latvia. The initiative is supported by multiple organizers and partners who share a goal of making artificial intelligence more understandable\, accessible\, and practical for different groups in society. The program invites collaboration from sponsors\, partners\, speakers\, and workshop leaders to create a comprehensive and inclusive experience for attendees across age groups and levels of technical proficiency.\n\n### FAQ and attendee guidance\nAttendees should plan to engage with the three tracks\, participate in the demo zone and workshops\, and take advantage of networking opportunities. The event emphasizes practical outcomes\, honest discussions about AI limits and risks\, and opportunities to apply insights to real world contexts. Registration is encouraged to secure a place\, and the organizers highlight that more details about speakers\, program specifics\, and session timing will be shared as they are confirmed.\nhttps://aiconnect.lv?ref=ainave
