ACM-IEEE Twin Cities | Multimodal AI, Enterprise Adoption & Community Showcase
Minneapolis Central Library, 2nd Floor, Mary and David Doty Board Room, 300 Nicollet Mall, Minneapolis, MN, USTech is moving fast — and the best way to keep up is together. Join the ACM-IEEE WIE Twin Cities community for an evening of expert-led talks, real-world insights, and genuine connection. This session is part of our ongoing Track 03 — Data Infrastructure & AI Readiness series, designed to bridge the gap between AI architecture and enterprise-scale adoption.
This month's theme: AI in the Real World — Build, Adopt, Belong.
We go from how multimodal AI actually works under the hood, to why enterprise adoption still fails — and what to do about it. Whether you're an engineer, architect, leader, or student, there's something here for you.
