Exciting news! We will be having Mary Leaf talk about “AI- Power, Pitfalls, and Responsible Practice”

Join us for this 60-minute interactive workshop exploring how AI is transforming professional workflows: from content creation to client deliverables. Tools like ChatGPT, Google’s Gemini, and Microsoft Copilot offer incredible potential, but with great power comes real responsibility: copyright, compliance, data privacy, and client liability.
This workshop is perfect for anyone using AI professionally or monetizing their work. Walk away with practical strategies for responsible and effective AI use.

🗓 Monday, Sept 29 | 12–1 PM
📍 Anne Arundel Community College, CALT 234, Arnold, MD

💡 Spaces are limited - RSVP now!

This was the beginning of something bigger, bringing our community together to grow and learn side by side. We can’t wait for the next one!

🌟 Startathon 2025 Recap 🌟
In May, we hosted our first Startathon, a new spin on the hackathon! Through the use of LLMs, participants created business plans focused on the agricultural industry, bringing fresh ideas and innovative solutions to the table.
We were proud to hand out awards at the Chesapeake Regional Work Summit, celebrating the creativity and hard work of all who participated.
This wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing partners:

Arundel Community Workforce Development
Department of Commerce
Arundel Economic Development
Strategies
…and the many other partnerships that came together to make this event a success.
Innovation happens when community and technology meet — and this was just the start.

Throwback to a GDG Organizer meetup! 🍻
Once a month our organizers get together Mother's Grille where we plan what’s next for our GDG community, sharing ideas, celebrating wins, and just having laugh. The perfect mix of strategy, creativity, and camaraderie!

This year for Labor Day, we decided to celebrate differently.

Being the GDG we are, we asked three different LLM models: What is Labor Day to you? …and to show us what it looks like. Their interpretations are creative, unique, and a little unexpected. Check them out below!
