Artificial intelligence has evolved. So have we.

Back for its second year during Tech Week Grand Rapids, The People’s Prompt Lab returns bigger, bolder, and more interactive than ever. This immersive, hands-on experience is designed for entrepreneurs, business leaders, nonprofit professionals, educators, creatives, students, and anyone ready to move beyond simply using AI to strategically leveraging it.

Explore the latest generation of AI tools including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Latimer AI, Gamma, NotebookLM, Perplexity, and more through live demonstrations, guided exercises, and real-world use cases. Learn how today’s leading AI platforms can help you increase productivity, enhance creativity, streamline workflows, conduct research, develop content, and make better decisions.

New for 2026, attendees will get an exclusive look at the future of AI through demonstrations of Agentic AI, intelligent automations, advanced prompting strategies, custom AI assistants, multimodal workflows, and AI systems that can plan, reason, and complete complex tasks with minimal human intervention.

More than a technology workshop, The People’s Prompt Lab is built around responsible AI adoption. Participants will learn practical prompting techniques while exploring AI ethics, data privacy, bias mitigation, transparency, and strategies for integrating AI responsibly into business, education, government, and community leadership.

Whether you’re just beginning your AI journey or looking to sharpen your competitive edge, you’ll leave with practical skills, actionable frameworks, and the confidence to harness AI responsibly to create greater impact in your work, organization, and community.

Continue the conversation by joining us later in the week for the AI in Action Mixer, where innovators, entrepreneurs, public sector leaders, educators, and community changemakers come together to network, exchange ideas, and explore the future of responsible AI.
