About the workshop

NOTE: This workshop is on a MONDAY, not our typical Friday.

What is generative artificial intelligence (AI)? How will it change the field of facilitation? How can it help my business, my clients, and save me time? How can I get started and feel confident with AI tools? How can using these various AI tools increase my AI expertise as a facilitator?  

Join us for a practical, hands-on workshop that delves into the essential questions of generative AI (like ChatGPT) and its potentially transformative impact on facilitation. We’ll explore a range of popular, easy-to-use AI tools including ChatGPT and Google Bard -- as well as some plug-ins to those services and some more facilitator-specific AI tools like Stormz. Through real demonstrations, do-it-yourself activities, and small group interactions, you'll come away with a strong foundation on AI as it relates to facilitation. You'll have actionable ways to improve your work, impress clients, and save hours of your own time.

Learning Objectives 

In this session, participants will:

  • Explore easy-to-use AI tools, including ChatGPT and Google Bard

  • Gain hands-on experience using the tools in a safe and supported space

  • Experience actionable ways you can save hours of your time before and after the workshop

NOTE: This workshop will be recorded for distribution to all who register (breakout rooms will not be recorded).

This is a 3-hour workshop. It will take place starting at 12:00pm EDT
