ACE November Meetup: Data, Analytics, & the Creative Pivot

Connect with other artists, creatives, technologists, and entrepreneurs working at the intersection of art, tech, and AI.

November's Topic: Data, Analytics, & the Creative Pivot
(Reading the Room with AI)

AI can translate complex analytics into clear creative direction.
This session explores how we can use AI to analyze customer feedback, website traffic, and market trends. Together, we will think through how this data can inform our decisions about what to create next.

We'll reserve plenty of time for open discussion and brainstorming on how you might apply these insights to your craft and business:

How can we use AI to look at our past year of sales or engagement and to understand better what our audience actually wants?
How do you balance data-driven insights (what AI says will sell) with artistic desire (what you actually want to make)?
What tools are you using to track client satisfaction and feedback without getting bogged down in administrative overhead?

What to Expect:
We'll bring ice breakers and discussion prompts to get the conversation flowing. You bring your thoughts, experiences, and viewpoints. ACE meetups are a warm, collegial, and inviting space. All backgrounds, disciplines, and levels of experience will be respected and given space to express their perspectives, opinions, and concerns about the current state and future of the arts, AI, and technology.
