10/3/2025 – Check Back Soon! We are scheduling our next Silicon Spark Event soon!

Every month artists, entrepreneurs, and storytellers get together and create a spark with silicon. The idea is very simple.

Our inaugural event will be hosted by Dr. Christopher David Kaufman, professor, author, and AI guru.

You have 6 minutes to engage us from all the distractions in the world. The impetus of Silicon Spark is to try and strike a balance between technology and humanity.
