Last Call: Join us for the AI + Human Connection Summit at Valor
What will it mean to be human in a world shaped by AI?
Join us for an all-community conversation at Valor to explore these questions together. Open to all Valor staff, students, and families, this gathering is an opportunity to share perspectives, ask big questions, and consider what it means to live, learn, and connect in an increasingly AI-shaped world.
Community Conversation | 8:30–9:30 AM, Thursday, October 8
All Valor staff, students, and families are welcome. No registration required!
Want to go deeper? Join the AI Immersive Experience!!
A limited number of spots remain for Valor’s one-of-a-kind AI + Human Connection Immersive Experience. Through live actors and interactive scenarios, participants will step into possible futures and experience firsthand both the incredible possibilities and the real risks of a world increasingly shaped by AI.
