The event's name reflects that breadth: Future Opportunities in Research, Collaboration, and Education — a convergence point for a college that defines itself by interdisciplinary work.
Whether participants arrived as transformation leaders in the tech industry, as pioneering researchers, or as newcomers just beginning their journey into AI, InfoFORCE offered a shared space to learn, connect, and shape what comes next.
