    Description:

    The time has come to return to in-person events! Join us for L&D Philly's inaugural quarterly dinner & workshop.

    This quarter we are exploring AI with a panel of experts. Unlike other AI workshops, this not about learning how to use tools like Microsoft Copilot, Chat GPT and DALL-E. Rather, we will discuss practical applications of AI in learning in development. Specifically why you should be using these tools and best practices to know when AI is the right option.

    Our panel of experts will guide us on our journey and assist us all in leveraging this technology to create and deliver better training. 

    Food and non-alcoholic drinks are included with registration. A cash bar will also be available.  As a thank you to our community, self parking at the hotel is free for this event

    Agenda:

    • 6 - 6:30 - Registration & Networking
    • 6:30 - 7 - Dinner (choice of Chicken or Rigatoni)
    • 7 - 8 - Panel Discussion
    • 8 - 8:30 - Wrap Up & Networking

    This club has 2 rules:

    1. Read the book prior to the meeting (or at least MOST of it).
    2. Come to the meeting ready to discuss the book.
