You're In The Inner Circle.
You said yes to helping shape Cincy AI Week, and that puts you in a small group of leaders we trust to set the tone, fill the room, and carry the standard. This year is a different scale entirely. Here's everything you need to know to show up aligned, energized, and ready to bring your network with you.
Everything leveled up.
Last year built the foundation. This year we set the standard for what an AI week looks like in the heartland; every dimension of the experience has been rebuilt around that bar.
Stage Production
A real broadcast-grade stage. Lighting, sound, and screens designed for keynotes that travel, not just keynotes that fill a room.
Attendee Experience
Tighter run-of-show, smarter wayfinding, and an arrival flow that respects everyone's time from check-in onward.
Networking Experiences
AI Woodstock returns alongside curated VIP receptions, sector roundtables, and the Women in AI & Business breakfast.
Session Standards
Every speaker, every panel held to a higher bar. Talks have to earn their slot.
Lunch & Refreshments
Real food, real coffee, served at the right times. Hospitality matched to the people in the room.
The Awards Luncheon
A signature moment recognizing the people building Ohio's AI ecosystem on the ground.
JobsOhio joins Microsoft.
Two of the most consequential names in Ohio's economic and technology future are headlining the week together; both backing the professional continuing education and AI Certificate programming that runs the full length of the event.
1,000+ AI Certificates,
Sponsored.
Every AI Certificate track running through Cincy AI Week is sponsored by JobsOhio and Microsoft. That means the workforce pipeline we've been building, the trainers, curriculum, and credentialing we've been refining, now sits under headlining sponsorship from the state's economic development engine and the platform powering the next generation of AI work.

A code that makes sharing easy.

Half off.
Anyone you send.
Share HC50 with the people in your network you actually want in the room: clients, peers, founders, students, the team you've been building. Fifty percent off any ticket tier. The more of your network shows up, the stronger the week feels.
The numbers we're chasing.
These aren't aspirational. They're operational. With a Host Committee of your caliber pulling in your networks, this is the year we hit them.
AI Ready
Ohio
goes live.
Cincy AI Week is the official launch moment for the AI Ready Ohio statewide portal; the program steps out of pilot mode and into a coordinated learning, credentialing, and career pipeline available across the state.
What started as a four-region in-person training program now becomes a full digital home for every Ohioan getting AI-ready: one portal, three credential tiers, every region, the full coalition behind it.
Virtual Learning Tracks
The full credential ladder available online; AI Explorer through AI Empowered Leader, accessible from anywhere in the state.
Statewide Credentialing
Three verified tiers, recognized across Ohio's economic development ecosystem and JobsOhio partner employers.
The AI Navigator
Built in Ohio by Big Kitty Labs; an intelligent guide that meets every learner where they are and routes them forward.
Career Progress Tracking
JobsOhio's dedicated tooling tracks the career trajectory of every program participant; outcomes you can actually measure.
In Ohio.
Let's go win this.
Mark the dates. Reserve your VIP credential. Forward HC50 to ten people in your network this week. Show up to the kickoff aligned with everyone else carrying this banner.
