Upcoming Events
Keystone AI Kickoff Lunch & Learn
Central Pennsylvania's leaders are working out what AI means for their counties, companies, and communities, and the best answers will come from working it out together. The Keystone AI Kickoff Lunch & Learn is a free, hybrid forum for county officials, business owners, IT and security leaders, and educators to learn, compare notes, and start collaborating on AI, ahead of the Keystone AI Leadership Summit on April 14, 2027. Join us Wednesday, November 18, 2026, from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Eastern at CCAP in Harrisburg or online. Alexis Gosik of the Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania opens, and Alexis Noble and Executive Director Dr. Kyle Kopko welcome you on behalf of CCAP. Three members of the County AI Advisory Taskforce, Mike Gallagher of Bucks County, Chad Joyce of Centre County, and Tim Smith of Berks County, share what Pennsylvania counties are doing with AI today. Mark Hinkle then presents Sovereign AI: owning your data while renting the intelligence, a practical look at how Pennsylvania organizations can use AI as a competitive advantage while keeping control of their data. Josh Hinkle of Splashwire closes. Then stay for lunch and conversation with the people building Central PA's AI future. Free to attend, in person (limited to the first 100 registrants) or virtual. Virtual attendees receive joining details before the event. Hosted by the Technology Council of Central Pennsylvania, the County Commissioners Association of Pennsylvania (CCAP), Splashwire, and All Things AI.
