Cohere Pride Camp: Navigating Tech through a Queer Lens

It’s time to celebrate the intersection of tech, generative models, and queerness!

Whether you want to expand your knowledge, make new connections, or have a great time, Cohere Pride Camp is the perfect place to do it all.

With a theme centered around “Navigating tech through a queer lens,” the event promises to be inclusive, informative, and, most importantly, a safe space for everyone.
