Venture Cafe: AI Social Club - The Symposium After Party

How is the creative world reclaiming authorship in the age of AI? Following a full day of deep dives at the AI Social Club Symposium, the conversation moves from the stage to the lounge for this special edition of the Thursday Gathering.

Join us as we host the official Symposium Social. Whether you’ve spent the day at the symposium or you're joining us for your weekly dose of innovation, this is where Manchester’s creative, academic, and tech communities collide. This event brings together filmmakers, founders, and researchers to explore the intersection of technology and human creativity.

We’ll be joined by the teams behind the symposium, including representatives from the BBC GenAI Team, Showrunner, MMU AI Cafe, and Dreamlab, for an evening of facilitated networking and creative exchange.

In Partnership with AI Social Club & The University of Manchester

The AI Social Club (produced by Future Artists) is a Manchester-based initiative dedicated to exploring the impact of Artificial Intelligence on the creative industries. Through symposia, workshops, and collaborations, they provide a platform for artists and tech-innovators to reclaim the narrative around AI and creative authorship.

As a global leader in research and innovation, The University of Manchester supports the AI Social Club Symposium through academic rigour and cross-sector collaboration, ensuring that the development of AI in the city remains ethical, inclusive, and community-driven.
