Upcoming speaking and judging opportunities in AI
Here are 3 upcoming speaking opportunities in AI:
Also, Yujian Tang (a guest lecturer at Stanford and the CEO of an AI company), as part of the AI Consortium, is still looking for judges amongst members for the upcoming AI Agents Hackathon (scheduled for 8/2, the hackathon will be virtual).
He is also looking for reviewers for a virtual online conference at the end of August and will also be looking for reviewers for the next Seattle Startup Summit in the next few weeks (the previous Seattle Startup Summit got over 100 submissions).

About me:
My name is Jason and I work with top immigration lawyers on educational resources related EB-1A, EB-2 NIW, and O-1. Most of the profile-building insights I share in this newsletter come from my work with these lawyers.
As a paid subscriber to this newsletter, you get access to:
My EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building opportunities database (400+ opportunities so far, updated every 2-3 days). Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share this spreadsheet with you.
My private EB-1A/EB-2 NIW/O-1 profile-building group (link below, you will also get access to the newsletter chat). Members have been able to:
Land speaking opportunities.
Land peer review and other judging opportunities (through a university contact listed in my newsletter resources and through peer reviewer members of my private group).
Land conference committee positions.
Find co-authors for papers.
Get in touch with reporters.
Find independent references.
Get involved in top member organizations in their field.
Work with other profile-builders.
Judge hackathons.
My contacts database (these are universities, event organizers, and people involved in relevant organizations that I have spoken to, you can mention my name if you decide to reach out to them). Also, next week, I will be speaking to someone who has won six hackathons to see if he can share insights on how to land hackathon judging opportunities.
Video resources (recorded question and answer-style videos with EB-1A recipients, recordings of my EB-1A profile-building office hours), my guides to EB-1A and EB-2 NIW profile-building, and my reviews of AAO decisions (which go into USCIS’s reasoning for denying an EB-1A/O-1 petition). I review both EB-1A and O-1 decisions.
Once you become a paid subscriber, I will share all of the above resources with you via Google Drive (links below).
