Prompt, Build, Automate: The Project Managers New AI Skillset

Virtual Event

Project managers are exploring AI tools like ChatGPT, but most are stopping at prompt engineering—writing one-off requests to help with emails, reports, or meeting summaries. That’s a good start, but there’s so much more we can do. In this one-hour session, I’ll walk you through what I see as the next step for project managers: going beyond prompts to build and automate with AI. I’ll share practical examples of how we can design simple AI tools, automate repetitive workflows, and start thinking more strategically about how AI fits into our projects. This talk is for PMs who want to move past the hype and start using AI in a more meaningful, hands-on way. 3 Key Takeaways What good prompt engineering looks like—and where it falls short How to build simple AI agents and workflows without being a developer What you can start automating in your projects right now Meet Your Presenter - Dr. Carl Peters I’m a PMP-certified project manager with a background in research, data science, and a lifelong interest in tech.

Finding Jobs in UX: What I Learned from Five Months of Unemployment

VOLTA 1800 Argyle Street #Unit 801, Halifax

Details In a world where remote work is the norm and AI is transforming the landscape, finding the perfect UX job—or even a job—can feel overwhelming. That was certainly the case for our June speaker, Josh Salmon. When he found himself suddenly unemployed, it seemed like even a decade of experience didn’t count for much. In this talk, Josh will share what he learned during five months of job hunting: how he rediscovered skills he’d forgotten, made use of new tools (like AI), and stayed grounded through an uncertain chapter. He’ll talk about his journey from academia to the video game industry, to being laid off, and eventually finding a new home in healthcare UX. Along the way, Josh will cover practical tips on job searching, refining resumes (or portfolios), preparing for interviews, and staying sane throughout the process. Whether you’re just starting out or looking for a career change, we hope you’ll find something useful—and maybe even reassuring—in his story.
