Hi ,

It's almost showtime for our AI for Non-Techies workshop. Below are all the details and resources for our live sessions, so you can have them at your fingertips. 

Workshop Dates (Series D – June 2024):

• Session 1: Friday, June 21st | 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM PST | 3:00 PM - 7:00 PM EST
   
• Office Hours: Sunday, May June 23rd| 12:00 PM - 1:30 PM PST | 3:00 PM - 4:30 PM EST
   

Zoom Details:

You’re already registered for the Zoom sessions, and Zoom should have sent you an email with all the necessary details (also listed below for convenience). We'll be using the same link, ID and passcode for both sessions:
 

Meeting ID:  879 5875 130

Passcode:   494089

Link: https://us06web.zoom.us/s/87958751309?pwd=OnnblNM2aaBpJmtWmDrRzSluZbLOOy.1

Pre-Workshop Prep:

• Sign Up for the free version of ChatGPT: You can register at chat.openai.com. It will be our playground for exploration. 
  
  Also, think of a few simple questions or tasks you'd like to try with AI. We’ll spend a few minutes on these during the workshop, so it helps to have some ideas ready. No worries if you don’t, though!
   
• Add the session dates and times to the calendar to ensure you are on time: These live-only sessions are packed with insights and knowledge that build on each other; Late arrivals will miss critical pieces of the puzzle. There will be no recordings, and we will start promptly to respect everyone's schedule.
   

Enclosed Resources:

I've got two attached.  

• Companion Guide: This is a cheat sheet for our workshop as well as your take-away resources packed with insights, strategies, techniques and examples from the session to serve as your handy reference for applying what you learn afterwards. There's also blank space for your thoughts and questions. 
   
• An Overview of Top Performing Large Language Models: This offers a snapshot of the top language models, their unique capabilities and ideal use cases. Please note that things are evolving fast with AI, so I often update this document weekly as new model upgrades, offerings and pricing is introduced.
   

A small request: I’ve put a lot of work into these, and want to keep them just for our workshop family, so please don’t share them.

That's all I've got for now. 

See you soon,

Avi

P.S. This session will be more intimate than usual, as a group that signed up after my NY talk requested their own private session. So, you'll hopefully have more opportunities to ask specific questions.
