Since 2016, the AI LA Community has driven innovation in the greater Los Angeles region, empowering students and professionals to connect, learn, and grow. From mixers and workshops to conferences and hackathons, we’ve consistently delivered world-class events that inspire collaboration and creativity by featuring top industry experts.
We recently celebrated a major milestone with our Career Accelerator Program, IDEAS, as 100% of our third cohort successfully graduated, prepared to thrive in an AI-driven world. Building on that success, we’re doubling the size of each cohort in 2025 to expand our impact and help even more professionals advance their careers.
Looking ahead, 2025 will be a year of exponential growth. Our plans include hosting 100 events, doubling the size of our community, and equipping over 1,000 students and professionals with essential AI literacy skills.
To support this incredible growth, we’re introducing an optional membership program—a way for our community to contribute and grow alongside us while enjoying special perks.
AI LA has always been and will always remain an open, inclusive space where everyone is welcome—no strings attached. Our mission is to foster collaboration and innovation, which means continuing to provide free events and accessible AI literacy resources to all.
Starting at just $49/year for students and $149/year for professionals, this program is designed for those who want to deepen their involvement, unlock unique opportunities, and support our mission.
As a paid member, you’ll enjoy:
This program is a way to offer more for those who want to dive deeper and give back to the community they love. Plus, your membership directly supports free programming, AI literacy initiatives, and accessible resources for everyone.
Don’t worry—being a member is entirely optional. You’ll still have access to free events, paid events, and free resources, ensuring AI LA remains inclusive and open to all.
