Kansas City's AI Community, Built by Its People
The Kansas City AI Club started in 2023 as a small group that wanted to talk about AI plainly. Since then, more than 5,000 people have come to nearly 40 events, and most of them sell out.
The people in the room are the point. Engineers and data scientists sit next to executives, founders, students, and people who are new to AI. We see AI adoption as a people problem more than a technology problem, so the conversations stay practical: what people built, what worked, and what didn't.
The format changes from month to month: panel discussions, demo days, AI Lightning Pitches, and special events like the Kansas City AI Expo. If you work with AI in Kansas City, or want to, come to one and see who's there.
How to Take Part
Come to an Event
Most months there's something on the calendar: panel discussions, demo days, AI Lightning Pitches, and special events. Most events sell out, so register early to get a seat.
Share Your Work
Built something with AI, or learned something the hard way? We're looking for speakers, panelists, demo day presenters, and Lightning Pitch entries from people doing the work in Kansas City.
Get Involved
New to the club or been coming for a while? Tell us about your role, your company, and where you are with AI. It helps us plan the right events and connect you with people worth meeting.
The People Behind the Passion
Behind every panel and pitch night are people who genuinely love this stuff, and you can see it in the room. Here's a glimpse of the smiles, high-fives, and hands raised that make our events feel less like conferences and more like a reunion.
