Hey everyone, sharing an upcoming AI meetup we’re hosting for agency owners and operators in the Hudson Valley.

This is for people who are already using AI in real client work and operations and want to go deeper with it alongside other agency folks figuring this stuff out in real time.

We’ll have a few agency operators walking through their actual AI stacks and workflows, showing how they’re using AI across client delivery, new business, internal ops, and team workflows. Then we’ll break into smaller roundtable discussions around topics like growth, operations, and hiring.

The goal is to have practical conversations with people who are beyond the “AI is interesting” phase and are actively building it into how their agencies run.

Drinks + refreshments included.

Would love to see some HV Connect folks there:

Informed by traditional musics from around the globe, Lyraccord utilizes tunings based on the natural overtone series, giving the music a crystalline clarity. Employing voices, harp, zithers, lyres, n'goni, and guitar, the resulting effect sounds both hauntingly familiar and refreshingly new.

Hi community, and especially all tennis lovers 🎾🎾

The 2026 Ulster County Open starts July 6 and it is a fun, competitive and community oriented non-profit tournament that takes place in Kingston! Play singles and/or grab your favorite dubs partner & sign-up by 6/24!

The tournament has been going on for 76 years, pulls in more than 100 players across all the draws, and gathers hundreds of spectators. Last year, my wife and I took over as co-directors and it’s been exciting to keep the beloved tradition alive. All the proceeds go to supporting public courts and youth tennis access in the Hudson Valley.

If you love to watch or play tennis (or have never done either!), it is a really special way to meet others and grow your community in the Hudson Valley. If you want to learn more about getting involved or advertising at the tournament, shoot me a DM!

See this link for the player application

or

Sign-up here for the mailing list to get updates on the draws, match times, and results

And follow us on Instagram for updates from the tourney!

This is a relaxed, self-guided workshop that’s ideal for both experienced artists and someone who just wants to try something new. All supplies are provided and no experience is necessary.

If you’ve been looking for a fun summer activity, a creative date idea, or just an excuse to spend some time outside creating, we’d love to have you join us!

Join the conversation

Ready to join the conversation? Enter the Slack community below.

What is Slack?

Slack is a chat platform, similar to Discord or Microsoft Teams or old-school IRC. It's meant to be used by businesses for team communication, but we're using it as a community platform. We picked Slack by popular request and it's worked out pretty well so far.

What's the difference between the Slack and the directory?

The directory allows you to showcase your work and find local creatives and professionals. The Slack is a chat platform for the community with active conversation happening all the time. They complement each other, and both are useful!

Why should I join?

Over 1,800 local creatives and professionals are in the group, connecting with each other and sharing opportunities. People are finding work, hiring locally, sharing resources, launching new projects, and generally being a community that's authentic and human rather than the opposite.

What's the vibe?

Conversation in the Slack is casual and human. There are lots of people introducing themselves, asking for recommendations, hiring people and sharing that they're ready to be hired, and announcing new events or projects. (And it's totally fine to just lurk, too!)
