Featured Fireside and Presentation: The State of Cincy AI & The AI Blueprint for the Cincinnati Region

Tuesday June 10, 2025 11:15am - 12:00pm EDT

Cincinnati is making bold moves to shape its future as a top-tier AI hub—and it’s doing so with data, vision, and community momentum. This featured session brings together key leaders behind the regional AI movement to share progress, insights, and a collaborative call to action.

Carl Fraik will present an update on the AI Blueprint for the Cincinnati Region, a community-driven strategy designed to position Cincinnati as a national leader in responsible and inclusive AI adoption. Kendra Ramirez will follow with findings from the State of AI in Cincinnati survey, conducted in partnership with the Cincinnati USA Regional Chamber—highlighting what local leaders are thinking, building, and needing when it comes to AI.

The session will close with a candid fireside discussion moderated by Zack Huhn, tying the two efforts together and opening the door for how the broader ecosystem—startups, enterprises, institutions, and government—can plug in and help shape what’s next.
