The Imagining Summit will gather a creative, diverse group of imaginative thinkers and innovators who share our hope for the future with AI and are crazy enough to think we can collectively change things.

The Imagining Summit would not be possible without the support of the Artificiality community. We are especially grateful for the support we have received from our Sponsors and Partners.

We are thrilled to be supported by our hometown university, OSU-Cascades, and two exciting AI startups, Bast and Wiqi.ai. OSU-Cascades extends the academic and research excellence of OSU to Central Oregon, providing a vibrant university with a growth plan of supporting 5,000 students. The Bast platform empowers businesses to create accurate, transparent, and explainable AI. And we will all learn more about the stealth-stage Wiqi.ai at The Imagining Summit.

Thank you for your support!

Oregon State University was founded more than 150 years ago as a land grant institution, building on the idea that everybody deserves access to education. When it opened in 2016, the OSU-Cascades campus fulfilled a 30-year quest for higher education in what had been the largest region in the state without a four-year university. Bend and Central Oregon form Oregon’s fastest growing region and one of its most vibrant economies. Yet the region lags behind the rest of Oregon in higher educational attainment. We are growing for Central Oregon and beyond.

At Bast, we designed an innovative explainable AI (xAI) engine that transfers and keeps knowledge within a company's unique culture and context. Our vision is to build trust in every digital interaction and insight, empowering businesses to create their own explainable AI. Our platform enables organizations and developers to leverage proprietary and other trusted data to build and deploy explainable artificial intelligence.
