About
What is The Em Dash?
The Em Dash is a monthly gathering of Baton Rouge’s most curious AI builders—engineers, researchers, and tinkerers who care about getting AI into the real world. We talk retrieval pipelines, prompt tuning, agent workflows, evals, trust layers, edge deployment—whatever’s actually being built.
No over-polished hype.
No hand-wavy magic.
Just honest tech talk, live demos, architecture breakdowns, and the shared effort of figuring out how to make AI do something useful.
Organized by Obney AI.
