The Shalom Austin Jewish Austin Men Dinner and Speakers Forum concluded an outstanding season of programs on May 10 with a tour de force presentation by author, entrepreneur and futurist Byron Reese on artificial intelligence.
The eclectic series of six dinner events attracted an average of 120 participants for world-class schmoozing, full-course buffet dinners and a diverse array of speakers on subjects ranging from antisemitism to UT basketball and from Jewish DNA to the future of higher education.
“JAMen came roaring back after a two-year Covid-imposed hiatus,” said founder and co-chair Burt Kunik, “and we’re super-excited about the way things are shaping up for Season 7.”
Season 7 launches on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. The new season lineup along with JAMen membership information will be available this summer.
“We look forward to welcoming back all our current members along with many new ones to JAMen Season 7 at the fabulous Dell JCC this fall,” said Kunik.
