AI² launches Member hub — a private community for portal members

AI² – Association Industrial AI has launched Member hub — a private, members-only community space for practitioners who use the AI² portal. The hub runs on Discord and is designed for professional exchange: implementation lessons, expert-group topics, and collaboration across engineering, manufacturing, automation, and operations.

Member hub is not a second login for the portal. You continue to sign in at industrial-ai-network.com with your member account. When you are ready, you connect Discord once from your profile; we assign access to our server and the member role automatically.

Who can join: portal members with a confirmed email and an active membership record. If you are not on the portal yet, start with membership and complete registration; you will receive guidance by email as well.

How to join (about two minutes): sign in to the portal → open Member hub in the top navigation or go to your profile → choose Join Member hub → approve the Discord connection. You may use a personal Discord email if you prefer not to use your business address; linking is done via your Discord account, not by matching email addresses.

We keep the hub focused and professional: no spam, no generic social-network noise — a working space aligned with our mission of standards, best practices, and applied innovation in European Industrial AI.

Community lead: Davy Demeyer is the main contact for Member hub. He leads our Industrial Automation & AI-native Engineering expert group and will help shape how we use the channel alongside expert-group work. Questions about access, etiquette, or technical issues can go to Davy via his profile or the general contact page.

We are glad to offer a place where members can talk to peers without leaving the AI² ecosystem. Connect when it suits you — and tell us what would make the hub most useful for your day-to-day work.
