​In this hands-on workshop, Vincent Vu, a software engineer at Uplimit (an AI-native learning platform), will teach a practical, repeatable way to work with Claude Code based on real-world experience building internal tools and product features. Participants will learn how to break ideas into clear steps, write effective requirements, and work incrementally so AI output stays understandable, testable, and useful.

This course examines how organizations actually implement AI in day‑to‑day work. It covers how teams identify appropriate AI use cases, setup operating models to support adoption, define roles and responsibilities, manage risk and governance, and decide what success looks like. Participants will study how AI moves from individual experimentation to shared practice, how internal champions enable adoption across functions, and how organizations measure impact and plan next steps. The focus is on practical structures, decision frameworks, and patterns used inside real companies, rather than tools or technical implementation.

For a sneak preview of the content, join Jason at our Building AI Capability in the Organization event.

Join three tech professionals who are driving AI adoption in very different contexts: inside a major enterprise, across client organizations as a consultant, and within a fast-moving startup. This panel explores what it actually takes to move AI from individual experimentation to organizational capability—how they identify viable use cases, build internal support, navigate governance and risk, and measure what's working. If you're leading AI initiatives in your organization or want to position yourself to do this role, this conversation will give you frameworks and patterns you can use immediately.

Composer, Emmy Award Winner and Venture Capitalist, Lucas Cantor Santiago, will discuss the ideas featured in his new book, Unfinished: The Role of the Artist in the age of AI. Come enjoy a discussion about the meaning and purpose of art and technology.
