When lightning strikes, it’s fast, bright, and supercharged, just like this AI Omaha event! Join us for an evening of **lightning talks** where local innovators will each have 10 minutes to share their ideas, projects, and insights into artificial intelligence.

Expect a rapid-fire lineup of speakers covering a range of topics, from practical applications and industry use cases to emerging trends and thought-provoking experiments. No two talks will be alike, but all will give you something new to think about.

* Don’t Mega-Prompt, Just Jam: Rapid Prototyping Search UIs with Cursor + Codex - Kyle Murphy, Principal Product Manager, BuilderTrend

* A case for building a memory bank: Asynchronous coding agents and one-shot prompts - Maanas Datla, Data Science Developer, BuilderTrend

* What are they thinking? How System 1 & 2 thinking applies to LLMs - Charlie Koster, Principal Software Architect, BuilderTrend

* Predicting NFL Games - John Byrnes, Kiewit

* Fine Tuning LLM Models - Dr. Steve Green

* Prompt best practices for high quality results - Vlad Pundik

Whether you’re an AI practitioner, a tech professional, or just curious about the possibilities, this event is a chance to:

· Get a quick hit of diverse AI perspectives
· Connect with peers in Omaha’s growing AI community
· Leave inspired (and maybe even a little challenged!)

We’ll have time for networking before and after the talks. Come ready to learn, share, and spark new conversations.
