ChamberRVA’s HYPE and AI Ready RVA are joining forces for a special Happy Hour that blends networking, career growth and a hands-on look at artificial intelligence. We’ll kick the evening off with great conversations and new connections. Then we’ll explore how AI is changing work and why AI literacy matters for every profession. And to make it interesting, the crowd will help build and play a live AI game using Vibecoding. You’ll help design it. AI will build it. Then everyone plays. No technical background required. Just curiosity and a willingness to try something new. Richmond is building an AI-ready community one conversation at a time. Come meet great people, support two incredible organizations and experience the future of work in a fun, interactive way.
