The Human Edge in the Age of AI beginning 03.05.2026 at 5:30–8:00 PM
AI is accelerating.
The tools will keep improving.
The real question is whether we'll keep strengthening what makes us human - so we can use AI with clarity, integrity, and purpose.
At Philly AI Connect, we bring people together to learn, connect, and build with a commitment to inclusive, ethical, human-centered progress in AI. This event is a flagship-style conversation about the "human skills" that make technology worth using in the first place.
If you've been feeling the pressure to "keep up," this night is your reset: a clearer framework, practical takeaways, and a room full of people who want to move fast without losing the plot.
Why PAIC community members should attend
“AI skills” aren’t just prompts anymore
Tools are easy to access. Judgment, discernment, focus, and ethics are harder and more valuable. This event is about developing the human operating system that makes AI useful.
Your network is your advantage
You’ll meet people actively building and applying AI across industries at a venue designed for innovation and collaboration.
Designed to be high-trust and high-quality
A structured keynote + curated panel + real networking time. You’ll get substance and community.
This is where Philly leads
We’re building an AI community with local and national impact one that keeps innovation responsible, practical, and human-centered.
Event agenda
Philly AI Connect, Pennovation, and Google set the stage.
A keynote-style presentation on what remains distinctly human as AI capabilities expand and how to strengthen those capacities.
A 4-person panel. Each panelist will reflect one or more of the five qualities – Presence, Focus, Drive, Connection & Community, and Cause, and share how they leverage AI while staying anchored to what matters.
