It's been an absolute pleasure working with The Melting Pot Edinburgh and their partners on two fantastic series of events. Our platform allows event facilitators to expand their impact beyond the physical meeting and into living legacies. On top of connecting all your event attendees with resources, information, and each other, we provide space for your partners to set up digital booths, your speakers to host crucial content and discussions, and a platform full of socially minded actors looking for event just like yours.

We've paired with The Melting Pot Edinburgh to build event companions to their AI and Social Innovation series so attendees and speakers can connect and share resources, knowledge and perspectives before, during and long after the event is over. It's been a fantastic series so far with speakers from Scottish AI Alliance, The Alan Turing Institute, The University of Edinburgh, HelpFirst, Edinburgh Centre for Robotics and more covering a massive range of subtopics within AI all connected by a clear common message, the social sector needs to know more and have their voice heard. There are still two events to go in the series, so book now and well see you there and in the attached Community Lab event companion.

After an incredible first week of discovery calls with people joining from an incredible range of experiences allowing us to examine, among other things, the risks of AI, the values of the third sector, what questions those in the grassroots need answered, how to reach those not digitally engaged, and the importance of community run tech. For those that missed, it we have founded an open community of those wanting a better connected and easier to navigate third sector support ecosystem. Together we are co-designing and building an AI powered system that helps those in the grassroots of the third sector, shortening the journey from ideas to impact where it's needed most. We are open to all and already have people from tech backgrounds with limited charity knowledge and those from charity background with limited tech. To stay open to all perspectives and ideas we'll be hosting a weekly discovery call for those wanting to understand more/join us. sign up here: https://lnkd.in/eeKSvd25
