Meet-Up & Updates

Help Longmont prepare for the AI era, together.

Longmont Next Wave is reconnecting with residents, local leaders, educators, nonprofits, businesses, and civic groups who want a practical, grounded conversation about AI. We are planning small meet-ups, public briefings, and simple readiness resources to help the community understand what is changing and prepare responsibly.

The initiative is becoming active again. We are starting with small, useful gatherings and resources shaped by what Longmont residents and organizations say they need.
