Ideas on Tap: AI Gets Real

Friday, October 3, 2025 @ 5:00 PM

AI can feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to. At Ideas on Tap, we’re keeping it simple—showing a few real-life ways people are using AI, and then opening up the floor for conversation.

Join us Friday, October 3, at Vendasta HQ for short demos, plenty of networking, and straight talk about how AI is showing up in everyday work and life.

  • Quick, practical demos (no tech jargon)
  • Lots of time to connect with others over a drink
  • Honest stories about what’s working…and what’s not

This isn’t about selling or hype. It’s about making AI feel real, useful, and maybe even a little less intimidating.
