What IS AI—and why should you care? 

Join us on Monday, June 23 at the Palm Springs Convention Center for the AI & Creativity Expo 2025—a one-day experience exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on our lives and how it can empower our community. This event will bring together businesses, creatives, students, and residents to explore how Artificial Intelligence is changing the world around us.

Learn how AI is being used in education, design, business, health care and entertainment and more! Explore how to ethically and responsibly use AI as a tool, not a takeover. Try creative tools like DALL·E, RunwayML, ChatGPT, and more—with experts on hand to help you unlock their potential. Hear from real people using AI every day—no tech jargon, just real talk.

Featured speakers include:
- Emmy-nominated host, writer, public speaker, Baratunde Thurston
- Award-winning director of the “Lion King”, Rob Minkoff

Whether you're curious, concerned, or already using AI, this event is for YOU. This isn't a sales pitch for AI. It's a space to explore, question, and understand it—especially if you’re skeptical.
