Birmingham has made real strides as a tech hub—but is it ready to seize the AI opportunity? As artificial intelligence reshapes industries, the question isn’t just whether we have the infrastructure or the ambition, but whether we have the talent to build, apply, and lead in this new era. Join us for a provocative and interactive edition of Techs and the City, where local experts, technologists, and community leaders will examine the state of AI talent in Birmingham—from builders to users, data scientists to AI-native entrepreneurs. Are we prepared to lead—or will we be left behind?
Why Attend?
This isn’t just another panel. It’s a live conversation (and possibly a debate) about what talent really means in the AI economy—and what it will take for Birmingham to rise to the occasion. Come for insight, stay for the controversy, and leave with a new perspective on where our city stands in the AI revolution.
