The City Club of Cleveland will host its final Friday forum at the City Club Building tomorrow before a September move to Playhouse Square.

Details: Jag Singh, a professor at Harvard Medical School, will discuss artificial intelligence and the future of medicine.

  • Following the noon forum, guests are invited to join in a toast celebrating the institution's 40-year run at its home on Euclid Avenue and East 9th Street.

What they're saying: "It's definitely bittersweet," City Club CEO Dan Moulthrop tells Axios. "In the last ten years, this is where my colleagues and I presented forums with TaNehisi Coates, John Boehner, Isabel Allende, Bill Barr, Kathleen Kennedy and so many others. That's a lot of memories."

  • "At the same time we are brimming with excitement and anticipation at what we'll be able to accomplish in our new home."

What's next: The City Club will relocate down the street (1317 Euclid Ave.), to a ground-floor venue that's larger, more visible and more accessible than the current second-floor digs.
