AI-curious? AI-confused? AI-ready but not sure where to start? This session is for you.

Before the luncheon begins on May 12th, join us from 10am-11am for a hands-on pre-session workshop led by Tim Altbaum, designed to level up your relationship with AI, fast.

Bring your laptop and get ready to actively build, test, and refine prompts tailored to your daily workflow. Tim will walk through key platforms, share proven prompt frameworks, and troubleshoot in real time through open Q&A.

Whether you’re just getting started or looking to sharpen your approach, this interactive session will give you practical tools, increased confidence, and immediate wins you can apply the moment you log back into work.

All are welcome: Young Leaders, Advisory Council, and all event attendees. Come ready to click, test, ask questions, and leave with tools you’ll actually use. https://www.sitesocal.com/events/upcoming-events/may-12-2026-luncheon

Thank you to everyone who came out, leaned in, and made it count. 🌎♻️
