CityGPT Launch: Aurora’s Community AI Initiative Begins

To Build Consensus Is to Build AI. To Build AI Is to Build a City.

About this Event

CityGPT is a first-of-its-kind national initiative rooted in a bold idea: That the future of artificial intelligence must be shaped not just by code, but by community consensus.

We’re launching right here in Aurora—and we want YOU to be there from day one.

On July 1st, we’re kicking off the very first CityGPT exploration: A groundbreaking local AI movement built on real voices, local data, and economic vision.

This is your invitation to be part of it.

This isn’t just a tech demo. This is a movement. We’re building a living system that reflects who we are, how we lead, and what makes our region powerful.

What to Expect:

• 🔭 CityGPT Launch & Vision Workshop
• 🎥 Live R&D Demos from TalkLab
• 🎙️ On-the-Spot Podcasting Booth – Add your voice to the story
• 🤝 Open Networking with Local Leaders
• 🌀 First-of-the-Month Working Group Series Kickoff

Why It Matters:

We’re building the local AI infrastructure for:

• Local business visibility in next-gen platforms
• Community-informed datasets for smarter systems
• Cross-sector collaboration and consensus
• Protecting regional identity through storytelling

This initiative can be championed by statewide institutions like the Illinois Chamber of Commerce and local chambers—but it starts with us.

If we don’t take action now, we risk letting the future be written without us. Let’s author our own story.

⚠️ RSVP Required: Lunch will be provided for registered attendees. Please RSVP today and consider bringing someone who should be at the table.

Together, let’s build a CityGPT for Aurora. This is where the local future of AI begins.
