HoCo AI Information

HoCo AI is Howard County, Maryland's AI user group — a free, in-person community for anyone interested in artificial intelligence. Whether you're building with AI every day or just curious about what ChatGPT or Claude actually does, HoCo AI is your local spot to learn, ask questions, and connect with others who are figuring it all out too. We meet monthly in Columbia, MD for a casual evening of networking, a featured presentation, and open Q&A. Topics range from hands-on demos and coding with AI tools to big-picture discussions about how AI is changing work, business, and everyday life. Who it's for: developers, data scientists, business owners, students, hobbyists, and the generally AI-curious. No prerequisites, no gatekeeping — just bring your curiosity. Each meeting follows a simple format: 6:30 PM — Doors open, networking, food 7:00 PM — Welcome and announcements 7:10 PM — Featured presentation 8:10 PM — Q&A and open discussion 8:30 PM — Raffle, closing remarks 9:00 PM — End Come for the knowledge, stay for the community.
