Hi Everyone,

 

For those that might be available the evening on March 17th or planning on attending the IQPC security conference this week in Ann Arbor, I wanted to let you know about a community event that Upstream (COVESA member) is helping host an evening event with Ann Arbor SPARK that is complimentary registration and an opportunity to learn and network.   Please see the email that Jennifer Tisdale sent to me about this event that is open for attendance.  I believe Jennifer wouldn’t mind you sharing this with others interested in cybersecurity and AI for connected systems and mobility.   There is a link below to join/register.

Hello!

I’d like to personally invite you to join Upstream & Ann Arbor SPARK for the first MobilityAI Community event on March 17th in Ann Arbor.

This gathering will bring together leaders working at the intersection of physical AI, connected systems, and mobility. The focus is on conversation, not commercialization. Creating space for open exchange and meaningful dialogue.

If you’re interested in joining us, you can register here:

Who else is planning to be in attendance this week at the IQPC event where we could meet up?  How about Joby’s question about the RSA event next week?

 

Thanks,

Apologies Team, 

 

I have been unavailable to join these calls the last few times. Is anyone going to be at RSA next week by chance?

 

Thanks,

Thanks Mike!
We are just about at capacity for this event. There 5 spots remaining. 

We will have special guest speakers featuring the Chief Mobility Officer from the State of Michigan as well as a fireside chat with Woven by Toyota. 

Though not cyber-specific, AI in Mobility is cyber adjacent. The attendees represent several OEM senior leadership, innovative startups, academia, as well as robotics, drone, and critical infrastructure/energy providers. 

Our next meetup is scheduled for 09 June (4-6pm) in Detroit at the MichAuto office. 

Come join this exciting community! Our locations rotate based of offers to host. Venue host helps shape topic/speaker selection. NO SALES. 

Let me know if you are interested in attending, hosting or speaking. 

Best,
Jen
