Description
Based on our own experience launching one of the nation's first library-led, weeklong slates of AI-related programming that appealed to all audiences across the university, we will present a blueprint for how to launch a similar large-scale AI Week event or symposium at your own institution. We will discuss the entire process, including submitting a proposal and budgeting; finding external speakers; soliciting partnerships across the university; selecting targeted programs for students, faculty, staff, and the larger community; and assessing the event after it has concluded. This session will be useful to any attendee who is interested in offering an AI conference or symposium that intersects with multiple disciplines and connects with the larger curriculum.
