FuturePS: AI Tech & Creative – April
Where technology, creativity, and community meet in Palm Springs.
FuturePS is an upscale, low-key social gathering for builders, founders, artists, educators,
and those curious about how AI and technology are reshaping life, work, and play in the desert. Designed for people
who care more about meaningful ideas than trendy buzzwords, it’s a space where depth matters more than hype,
and connection replaces traditional networking.
Expect good food, a drink in hand, better conversation, and a Spotlight Guest to ignite the room with a short presentation while leaving plenty of time for networking.
No panels. No pitch decks. Just smart people actively thinking about what’s next — swapping real lessons, sharing new tools, and leaving with either a useful connection or a genuine a-ha moment.
Each event is intentionally small-format to create room for dialogue: founders unpacking what’s working (and what isn’t), creatives showing how AI is moving their process forward, educators exploring its impact in the classroom, and civic innovators imagining how technology can strengthen our communities. Whether you’re building the future or just curious about where it’s headed, FuturePS is your place to plug in.
