The skills to thrive in an AI world

AI is reshaping everything—your job, your kids' education, your community's future. But the people building these systems? They're making decisions in Silicon Valley boardrooms, not Main Street coffee shops.
Meanwhile, you're living with the consequences of technology designed without your input.
Basecamp Tech Fest is where that changes. This isn't another tech conference where experts talk over your head. This is where business owners tell AI developers what their clients actually need. Where innovators and thought leaders explain to tech companies what they need to reach new audiences. Where you discover your power to shape technology's future.
