AI JAM 2025 – Rooted and Rising: Building on Appreciative Inquiry’s Legacy to Meet Tomorrow’s Challenges

The Appreciative Inquiry Jam is an annual gathering where AI practitioners can come to revitalize their practice, meet and learn from their peers, and create opportunities for generative connections. Participants will hear from and connect with people who are using a strength-based approach to achieve meaningful outcomes in today's world. 

Join us May 21 – 23, 2025 for the AI JAM

Get ready for the 4th Virtual AI Jam, a dynamic gathering designed to energize, inspire, and connect Appreciative Inquiry practitioners from around the world! This isn’t just another conference—it’s a space for deep conversations, fresh insights, and meaningful connections that will revitalize your AI practice.

This year, we’re exploring where Appreciative Inquiry has been and where it’s headed next. Over three interactive days you can expect to:

• Be inspired by leading thought catalysts
• Participate in workshops on cutting edge practices and cases around the world
• Engage with peers and seasoned practitioners, and…
• Co-create the future of AI through rich dialogue and collaboration.

Whether you’re a long-time AI practitioner or just starting your journey, the AI Jam is your opportunity to connect, contribute, and be inspired. Don’t miss this chance to be part of the evolving story of Appreciative Inquiry!
