[wny-digital-equity-list] Join Us for the 2025 AI Summit – Let's Bridge the Digital Divide Together

[Banks, C.J.]

Dear Digital Equity Coalition Members,
I hope this message finds you well.
I'm reaching out to share an exciting opportunity to partner on an upcoming event that aligns closely with the mission of the Digital Equity Coalition.
On May 2nd, 2025, we’re hosting the AI Summit 2025, 9:00AM to 2:00PM at Villa Maria College, 240 Pine Ridge Road Buffalo,  a free community-centered event focused on fostering inclusive dialogue around the rapid progression of AI and its impact on all communities—especially those historically underrepresented in tech.
We believe that educators, community organizations, and mission-driven companies play a critical role in shaping how AI is introduced and adopted equitably. To that end, we’d love for the Digital Equity Coalition to support this effort in any (or all) of the following ways:

  *
Attend and contribute to the conversation
  *
Share the event with your networks
  *
Sponsor, if possible, to help us keep the event free and accessible to all

Attached you’ll find the following:

  *
A write-up with more information about the AI Summit
  *
A LinkedIn post you’re welcome to share
  *
Our Sponsorship Package, which outlines various support levels and benefits

We would be honored to have your coalition involved in any capacity. Please let us know if you have any questions or if there's someone else on your team we should connect with.
Looking forward to the possibility of working together to ensure all communities are prepared for the future of AI.
Warm regards,
CJ Banks
