South Florida AI Events

As you may know, I’m a lawyer turned AI consultant for AI ethics, AI liability and AI consulting for small business here in South Florida. In addition, I write a free AI blog called The AI Report to which you subscribe.

While I serve clients elsewhere, too, my focus was and remains close to home to bring the power of artificial intelligence to businesses and individuals in our South Florida area.

I’m a South Florida guy, having lived in Coral Springs in NW Broward County for over 30 years. My wife (also a lawyer) and I had an office where we practiced in Miami Lakes (and later Coral Springs) much of that time.

We’re pretty much retired from the practice now, which allowed my pivot to artificial intelligence. It challenges me to become more, and merge with AI the best of my tech, legal, consulting and spiritual background.

Below I’ll try to post local news and events that may be of interest.

By the way, I sometimes speak on various topics. If you need a speaker for your event, I might be persuaded to come do a free talk to your group, or a keynote address, breakout session or roundtable discussion for your local conference or expo. Text me below or schedule a consultation to discuss your needs.

Upcoming AI Events in South Florida

AI is a new but growing area of focus, and the number of local events addressing its various aspects are increasing rapidly. Unfortunately, there is no single directory to find them all in one place.

From time-to-time I’ll post conferences, expos and other local events below. However, time constraints have made it hard to keep up. Maybe one of these days I’ll build a GPT to do it for me.

In the mean time, click on the different event calendar and listing service named below to see what’s coming in your area.
