SUMMARY:IT Networking @ Bar Louie Royal Oak
DESCRIPTION:No agenda. No speakers. No cover charge. Ever. Just networking with IT professionals. Plain and simple. \nIT in The D was started by IT professionals for IT professionals. We didn’t like any other group out there\, so we started our own! At our events\, you might meet tech recruiters\, developers\, salespeople\, network admins\, web designers\, or senior-level management. \nCome on out\, bring some business cards (or don’t—it’s OK) and meet some like-minded people in the Metro Detroit area. You could meet a life-long friend\, a new business partner\, or no one at all… it’s what you make of them that makes these events great. \n*We are networking Detroit one beer at a time.*

SUMMARY:Hybrid Hive Mind: Collaborative Building with AI
DESCRIPTION:**Hybrid Hive Mind: Collaborative Building with AI** \n**Note: Registration on Luma is required!** https://lu.ma/49qxjuu9 \n​**Join us for a collaborative workshop that explores how small groups can work alongside AI to enhance creativity\, accelerate thinking\, & discover new patterns of collaboration through structured experimentation and reflection.** \n**DESCRIPTION**\n​In this interactive session\, we’ll explore a new workshop framework designed for exploring how small groups can work more effectively with AI to enhance creativity and productivity. This workshop will be structured into four phases during this evening session:\n1. Pairing and brainstorming\n2. Building sprints\n3. Contributing to a shared “Hive Mind” repo\n4. Demos with reflections\n​You’ll experiment with AI as a creative partner. The workshop is built on the philosophy that AI is not just a tool\, but a “pacing companion” that helps maintain momentum\, a reflection that mirrors and expands human thinking\, and an attractor that draws out new patterns of thought. The workshop emphasizes experimentation over perfection\, co-creation between humans and AI\, reflection on the thinking process\, and playful exploration of new ways of working.\n​The goal is not just to create outputs\, but to explore what it feels like to think\, create\, and evolve alongside AI\, discovering new ways of collaboration and self-discovery through the interaction with artificial intelligence.\n​Visit the project repo [here](https://github.com/critesjosh/hybrid_hive_mind/blob/main/workshop_templates/00_Workshop_Overview/Welcome.md) \n**WHO SHOULD ATTEND**\n​✅ Software developers looking to experiment with AI-driven workflows and creative\, collaborative processes\n✅ Technical product managers interested in collaborative prototyping\n✅ Technologists curious about the future of AI + human creativity\n✅ Blockchain builders welcome—but not required \n**WHY YOU SHOULD ATTEND**\n​🧪 **Experiment** with AI as a co-creator through hands-on activities\n🚀 **Accelerate** brainstorming and building with structured team sprints\n🧠 **Explore** new collaborative patterns with your team and the Hive Mind\n🔄 **Reflect** on your own creative process and how AI shifts your thinking \n**PRE-WORK CHECKLIST** \n* ​Make sure `git` is installed and you can access GitHub\n* ​Bring access to an AI tool (ChatGPT\, Claude\, Copilot\, etc.)\n* ​Recommended: install Cursor IDE: [https://www.cursor.com/](https://www.cursor.com/)\n* ​The project structure is designed to work well with the Obsidian note taking app. Optional: Install Obsidian ([https://obsidian.md/](https://obsidian.md/))\n* ​Bring a spirit of play\, curiosity\, and care \n**MEET THE INSTRUCTOR**\n[Josh Crites](https://x.com/critesjosh_) is a developer educator and creative technologist with deep experience in helping builders explore new ways of thinking\, learning\, and creating with emerging technologies. With a background in blockchain education at organizations like ConsenSys\, Celo\, and Aztec\, Josh has taught thousands of developers how to build in Web3. But his work extends far beyond blockchain.\n​As a developer advocate and workshop designer\, Josh focuses on unlocking collaborative potential—between people\, and between humans and AI. His teaching blends technical fluency with structured creativity\, offering spaces where experimentation and co-creation take center stage. From organizing Ethereum hack nights to mentoring developers across disciplines\, Josh creates environments where innovation flows naturally\, even in unfamiliar territory. \n**MEET THE ORGANIZER**\n[Elizabeth Hansson](https://x.com/ElizabethHa/)\nMichigan President for Stand With Crypto \n**REFRESHMENTS**\n​Pizza and drinks provided! \n**THANK YOU TO OUR SPONSOR!​**\n[Stand with Crypto](http://standwithcrypto.org/)\nStand With Crypto empowers the blockchain community by advocating for clear policies\, educating stakeholders\, and mobilizing support to protect innovation in the crypto space. \n**RSVP Required on [Luma](https://lu.ma/49qxjuu9).**

DESCRIPTION:**Please register [on Luma](https://lu.ma/gelv09l1) for this event.** \nWhether you’re exploring Web3 for the first time or already building in it\, this talk will challenge assumptions and spark new ideas about what decentralized networks can do. \n**DePIN: The Rise of Decentralized Infrastructure**\nWhat if everyday people—not governments or tech giants—built the networks powering our world? That’s the promise of DePIN: Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks. It’s currently the fastest-growing movement in crypto\, and it’s not just theoretical—it’s already happening.\n​​This talk will break down what DePIN is\, why it matters\, and how it’s flipping the script on who builds and owns real-world infrastructure. We’ll discuss how it’s already powering real-world systems like global sensor networks and smart vehicle fleets. We’ll also look at how traditional companies are beginning to pay for access to these community-built networks\, signaling that the shift is already underway.\n​​From earning rewards to reshaping industries\, DePIN is where crypto gets physical. \n**MEET THE EXPERT**\n**[Jeremy Mahrle](https://x.com/jaym2518)**\n**Founder\, Proof Wireless**\n**Chair\, Helium Mobile Working Group**\nJeremy is the founder of Proof Wireless\, a company that deploys decentralized infrastructure in local businesses to generate recurring revenue for hosts. Active in the DePIN space since 2019\, he began with Helium IoT hotspots and now works across wireless\, mobility\, and sensor networks to support real-world DePIN applications. He was elected by the Helium community to chair the Helium Mobile Working Group\, where he leads weekly strategic discussions on the network’s technical development\, economic sustainability\, and long-term growth.\n​​Before entering the decentralized tech space\, Jeremy worked in public policy as a staff member in both the U.S. House and U.S. Senate\, and was elected to serve as a City Commissioner in Royal Oak\, Michigan. His background bridges civic governance and emerging infrastructure\, with a focus on practical solutions and community impact. \n**MEET YOUR HOST**\n​**​[Elizabeth Hansson](https://x.com/elizabethha)**\n**Michigan President of Stand with Crypto**\n**[Detroit Blockchain Collective](https://lu.ma/DetroitBlockchainCollective) Executive Director**\nElizabeth started the Detroit Blockchain Collective with the purpose of fostering blockchain innovation in Michigan through grassroots community and education.
