The new AI working group will have a focus area on ensuring we avoid bias in software engineering-
The DEI SIG is not funding a booth or presence, but it is championing the benefits of having a presence.
We can have a FINOS booth (or, potentially co-located with LF?) but need the AI SIG to help us drum up support.
(ideas / comments from James)

Can we have a conversation with the AI readiness SIG? They could also help drum up support/financing for a BBM event as a sponsored event in the GHC agenda.

@Perelmuter - can you confirm if LF or other related organizations will have booths?

Adding myself and @Perelmuter to this issue - we will need additional owners and can discuss on the co-chair call-

Morgan Stanley has an office on Market Street very near the conference in Philadelphia - is that worth exploring? Also, Microsoft, BlackRock, JP Morgan-

BNY Mellon has a huge office in Philadelphia, Wells Fargo, Bank of America... potential members?

Removing myself from this issue due to focus on FINOS Open Source Day participation. Rita expressed interest in owning this work and we can add her as an owner once her github account (ritachaturvedi) has been added to the FINOS GitHub organization (a FINOS request has been created for that)
