Why Paducah.
Paducah is a 27,000-person river town with disproportionately strong arts, maker, and small-business ecosystems for its size — UNESCO Creative City, Sprocket cowork, an active chamber, and a regional university (Murray State) within reach. The kind of place where AI literacy can move from novelty to economic infrastructure if it's taught well, in person, by people who'll be in the room next week.
