Members

While many Austin AI Alliance activities, events, and online resources are open to everyone, certain events and all collaborative projects are for Alliance members. However, any company/organization with a presence in the Austin area--the city and its 10 surrounding counties–can request membership. For a company, organization, school, etc. that becomes a member, all employees/staff are eligible for the benefits of its membership type. Individuals who work or reside (part-time or full-time) in the Austin area may also become members.
