How Live Music Drives Business Growth, Talent Attraction, & Regional Impact | Austin Chamber (Tue, April 21, 2026)

Tue, 21 Apr 2026 20:00:00 GMT

Live music is one of Austin’s most durable and distinctive economic assets. Beyond culture and entertainment, the music industry fuels tourism, hospitality, real estate development, workforce attraction, and brand visibility for the region. From global touring acts and major venues to local labels and neighborhood stages, music touches nearly every sector of Austin’s economy.

Music as an Economic Force convenes business leaders, employers, venue operators, and music executives to examine how music translates into measurable economic impact and how Austin can continue to grow this advantage responsibly. This program will explore how major venues drive regional spending, how businesses leverage music for growth and engagement, and what’s next for Austin’s evolving live music ecosystem.

Austin Forum | DISCUSSION OF "CO-INTELLIGENCE: LIVING AND WORKING WITH AI" (Wed, April 29, 2026)

Thu, 30 Apr 2026 00:15:00 GMT

AGENDA

7:15 - 8:30 p.m. Discussion

EVENT SUMMARY

In "Co-Intelligence: Living and Working with AI," Wharton professor and author of the popular One Useful Thing Substack newsletter Ethan Mollick urges us to thoughtfully engage with AI as co-worker, co-teacher, and coach. This co-pilot concept differs significantly from the obvious temptation at hand, i.e., letting our favorite AI platform take over as the lead voice on any given project.

Hugh Forrest will lead a robust discussion of the basic concepts of "Co-Intelligence" as well as a more general conversation of how AI has changed our approaches to productivity and efficiency.

Some of the discussion points to be covered at this April 29 online only event will include:

What are your best hacks for implementing AI as a co-worker in your day-to-day routine?
Have there been instances where you have realized you have given too much power or authority to AI? What led you to this realization and how did you remedy this problem?
Are you enamored with one particular AI platform -- or do you favor the multi-platform approach?
"Co-Intelligence" was published in April 2024. How has the book aged over the last two years? Are Mollick's insights and advice on co-piloting still relevant as AI continues to evolve at a breakneck pace?
Looking to the future as opposed to looking at the past, how do you see AI changing and evolving as a workplace and at-home tool over the next few years?

This discussion will appeal to AI experienced and inexperienced users of all levels and abilities. Come with your positive (and negative) stories about life in our new LLM world as we gain a better understanding of the ever-changing role of humans in the complicated path forward
