Berkeley Today and Tomorrow: How Will AI Transform Business?

The Berkeley Chamber’s annual signature event, Berkeley Today and Tomorrow, brings together approximately 150–200 attendees, including leaders from the City of Berkeley, Alameda County, UC Berkeley, the Berkeley Lab, local businesses, and many of the East Bay’s largest employers.
