Hey everyone,
May 8 is this Friday.
Time update: we've moved to 3:00-5:00 PM (originally 4-6 PM).
Small group of designers and product people. Rooftop in downtown Durham. No slides, no prep. Just a facilitated conversation about what AI is actually doing to our work right now.
A few of you have already written back with some honest, specific stuff about what you're navigating. Role shifts. Process uncertainty. Teams not ready to name what's changing. That's the energy in the room.
I want to make sure the session reflects what people are actually thinking about, so I put together a quick survey. Takes 30 seconds.
| Getting there When you arrive at One City Center, head to the lobby. Emily Bahna will be there to meet you and bring you up to the 28th floor. The rooftop requires key fob access, so no need to figure out the elevators on your own. Just show up and she'll take care of the rest. |
| Quick note Spots are filling up. We're keeping this to 8 to 10 people and we're almost there. If you (or a colleague) haven't RSVP'd yet, now's the time. |
