Join us for an exciting evening of innovation and creativity as student teams compete in the finals of the inaugural Manning Artificial Intelligence (AI) Competition!

Thursday, November 20
5–8 p.m.
Saab Emerging Technologies and Innovation Center (ETIC)

The Manning School of Business, in partnership with Helport, launched this new student competition to explore the intersection of artificial intelligence and entrepreneurship. Throughout the semester, teams have been challenged to apply advanced AI technologies to solve real-world business and organizational problems - transforming technical capabilities into market-ready solutions. With access to Helport’s core AI platform and APIs, students gained hands-on experience in enterprise AI, knowledge systems, and other cutting-edge tools.

Come see their innovative ideas as they present their projects to a panel of guest judges.

Please join us to support our students and celebrate their creativity and hard work!
