The Des Moines Artificial Intelligence Group draws regular attendance from area professionals working on machine learning applications and related projects.

Iowa Tech Week 2026 ended April 6 through 9 with its main summit at the Community Choice Credit Union Convention Center. That timing leaves a stretch before Tech Fuse Des Moines 2026 arrives October 15 and 16 at the same downtown venue located at 833 5th Ave. In the interim, smaller recurring sessions keep participants connected on current tools and use cases.

Active Groups Holding Steady Sessions

Several named meetups operate on consistent schedules. SecDSM holds its cybersecurity discussions the first Thursday of each month. Des Moines Data & Analytics, Iowa AI/ML and Computer Vision Meetup, Des Moines Artificial Intelligence Group, and Central Iowa Java Users Group each run their own programs without announced interruptions. These sessions occur in standard meeting spaces around Des Moines and allow direct exchange on code, datasets, and deployment questions.

The variety covers data pipelines, computer vision techniques, general artificial intelligence topics, and Java development practices. Participants gain exposure to local project examples that larger national conferences rarely address in detail.

Youth Programming Shifts Focus for July

CoderDojoDSM has paused its usual weekly sessions to concentrate on its annual July Tech Camp. No additional dates have been released yet for the regular program serving ages 9 to 18. The pause aligns with summer scheduling and directs resources toward the camp format.

Organizers list updates through established channels such as the technologyiowa.org site and meetup.com/agile-iowa. Individuals can review those pages for exact times and registration steps ahead of the October event at 833 5th Ave.
