It AIn't Going Away: AI panel discussion and experiential learning lab
Workshop Overview
This interactive session begins with a dynamic panel of practitioners and experts who will dismantle common myths about artificial intelligence, share real-world examples of how they’re using AI in their work, and offer practical tips, tools, and ethical insights for getting started. From fundraising to content creation and day-to-day productivity, you’ll gain an inside look at how AI is transforming small organizations and what it really takes to integrate it successfully. Whether you’re AI-curious or just getting started, this workshop will empower you to move forward with clarity and confidence. Participants will have a custom workshop-meets-showcase experience. Participants will practice and present fun AI experiments. This is a working lab experience where you will experiment with AI and gain useful tips and tricks that will transform into an indispensable impact tool. Laptop or similar device required.
