AI FOR YOUR BUSINESS DEMO NIGHT

Description

AI for Your Business: Inaugural Demo Night - AI Collective Space Coast HOSTED BY ACT COMPUTERS The Space Coast has always been about what comes next. We've watched rockets carry human ambition into orbit from our backyard. We've built the infrastructure, trained the engineers, and housed the companies that made it possible. From the launch pads of Brevard County to the citrus fields of Indian River County to the waterways of St. Lucie, this region doesn't just witness the future — it builds it. AI is the next frontier. And like every frontier before it, the question isn't whether it changes everything. It's whether you're ready when it does. On April 16th, the AI Collective comes to Vero Beach — and we're starting the conversation. ?What Is the AI Collective? The AI Collective is a global grassroots community of 150,000+ members across 160+ cities worldwide. Startups showcased at our events have collectively raised over $72 million in funding. We're not a tech conference. We're not a networking mixer. We're a community of builders, business owners, and curious minds who believe every person deserves a seat at the table as AI reshapes the world. Chapters exist in every major city globally. Now the Space Coast has one — and this is our first event. ?What to Expect on April 16th This is a hands-on demo night. You'll see real AI tools doing real work — no buzzwords, no vendor pitches, no slides full of acronyms. ?On the agenda: ??? The AI Collective — Who We Are and Why We're Here A short introduction to the chapter, our mission for the Space Coast, and what we're building together across Indian River, Brevard, and St. Lucie counties. Joining us for this conversation: Aman Sharma, Regional Head, SE USA / Florida, who helps lead the AI Collective's growth across Florida and the Southeast. ??? Featured Speaker — Akshay Sharma From SASE to SAISE — Building Ethical, Human-Centric AI with Compliance and Empathy Akshay is a former Gartner analyst who pioneered Secure Access Service Edge (SASE) and has since created SAISE — a next-generation framework for secure, ethical, human-centric AI. He advises global organizations on responsible AI governance and applies those principles to real humanitarian work, including AI tools for survivor support and anti-trafficking through two Florida-based charities. A rare opportunity to hear from someone who helped shape the security architecture the world runs on. ??? AI as Your Executive Assistant A live demonstration of how AI tools handle research, writing, scheduling, communications, and decision support. If you've ever wondered what it would look like to have a brilliant, tireless assistant available 24/7, this is your answer. ??? Featured Demo — AI-Orbit (Focustar Advisors) — Built from 20 years of watching meetings go nowhere James Felds spent two decades running peer advisory roundtables and sitting across from hundreds of business leaders with the same problem: too many meetings, not enough follow-through. So he built what he wished he had. AI-Orbit is a Space Coast-born platform that handles the complete meeting lifecycle — Prep, Meet, Follow-Up — integrating with Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. See what it looks like when AI does the busywork and gives you 5–10 hours back every week. ??? Food, drinks, and conversation The most important part. Meet people in your community who are thinking about the same things you are. ?Who This Is For Business owners, entrepreneurs, and professionals from across the Space Coast — Indian River, Brevard, and St. Lucie counties. Corporate leaders navigating AI in their organizations. Makers and builders who want to move faster. Anyone who's AI-curious and tired of reading about it instead of seeing it. This region has long attracted people who think bigger than their zip code. This event is for them. No technical background required. If you can use a smartphone, you'll follow everything we demo. ??? Thursday, April 16, 2026 ?? 5:00 – 7:00 PM ?? ACT Computers — 1525 US-1, Vero Beach, FL 32960 ???
