Queen City AI Exchange

The Queen City AI Exchange is a recurring CLA-hosted meet-up series at the CLA Connection Center in Ballantyne, Charlotte, bringing together business leaders for practical, peer-led conversations about AI adoption and digital transformation.

Designed for both leaders already putting AI into practice and those looking for a clearer path forward, the series focuses on real-world lessons, open discussion, and approachable use cases rather than formal presentations.

It fills a gap in the local networking landscape by offering a community-focused forum dedicated specifically to practical AI in business.

Join us for the first event in this series:

Human + AI — Getting the Balance Right

As organizations explore AI, one question sits at the center: What should humans do, and what should we hand to machines? This session introduces the idea of human – machine teaming and what it means in practice.

Whether you’re just getting started or already scaling AI, we’ll explore how to make smarter decisions about where AI adds value, where people matter most, and how to build ways of working that bring out the strengths of both.

Space is limited, register today!
