SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Business+Tech's 2026 AI Workshops: Applied AI Strategy Mini-Case Competition
DESCRIPTION:Learning AI isn’t optional\, it’s essential. Business+Tech’s facilitators started from scratch using ingenuity and determination to master AI. If they can\, then so can you. \n\nThree independent workshops. Attend one\, attend two\, or attend them all.\n________________________________________________\nWorkshop Title and Description:\nThis hands-on workshop challenges participants to tackle a real executive level decision facing modern AI companies: whether to build\, buy\, or hybridize their AI infrastructure as demand scales. Working in small teams\, students will analyze GPU demand growth\, cost structures\, and operational risks to develop a practical infrastructure strategy over a 24 month horizon.\n\nDesigned as a fast paced case sprint with a competitive element\, the workshop mirrors how real technology and operations leaders make infrastructure decisions under uncertainty. Participants will gain exposure to AI infrastructure economics\, strategic trade offs\, and executive level communication in a realistic\, collaborative environment.\n\nGrab a friend and register by March 17th. \n\n**Visit our registration page to learn about other workshops in the series.

SUMMARY:Lecture / Discussion:Science Café: Urban Planning\, Ancient Ruins
DESCRIPTION:Tucked away on the western coast of Turkey overlooking the Aegean Sea\, lies the ruins of an ancient city steeped in history. The city of Notion\, which was inhabited from the 3rd century BC to the 1st century AD\, is mentioned by such notable ancient authors as Aristotle\, Livy\, and Pausanias\, among others. \n\nFor over 20 years\, the Kelsey Museum of Archaeology at the University of Michigan has been involved in the study of Notion. But what happens when an ancient site needs modern amenities—like research facilities\, housing for visiting scholars\, and public-facing interpretation? Cue an unlikely collaboration between an archaeologist and an architect.\n\nThis month Dr. Chris Ratté\, Director of the Notion Archaeological Project\, will be discussing his research as well as the relationships the archaeological team has formed with the surrounding communities. Kathy Velikov\, Professor of Architecture at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning\, will share how Taubman is contributing to building ethical\, culturally competent\, sustainable\, and climate resilient infrastructure at Notion that supports the archaeological mission.\n\nHors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m.\, and the program begins at 6:00 p.m.\n\nSeating is limited—come early.\n\nUMMNH would like to thank Conor O’Neill’s for 15+ years of support for our Science Cafés.
