There are many groups promoting this event. Our meetup group is participating by promoting this event. This event is organized by Albert's List. This is an online event. Attendees can be located anywhere in the world! This event is FREE to attend. In order to attend, please register here: [https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-build-ai-skills-for-your-career-with-vibe-coding-in-2026-tickets-1980911817571?aff=ideatoipo](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/how-to-build-ai-skills-for-your-career-with-vibe-coding-in-2026-tickets-1980911817571?aff=ideatoipo) AI skills are no longer optional—but learning them doesn’t require a technical background or months of tutorials. In this live session, Albert’s List teams up with Scott Simson, founder of AI Marketing World, to show how professionals are using *vibe coding* to build real AI projects, develop in-demand skills, and ship usable MVPs—fast. This is a practical, beginner-friendly walkthrough, not a theory talk. ### **What You’ll Learn** * The top AI tools to focus on in 2026 (and which ones to ignore) * What “vibe coding” actually means—and why it works for non-technical builders * How to identify high-leverage software niches where simple AI products win * How to build AI workflows and apps with zero prior coding experience * How to go from idea → prototype → MVP in days, not months * What to do *after* you build: validation, iteration, and next steps * How these skills translate into career leverage, consulting, or side projects ### **Who This Event Is For** * Job seekers looking to future-proof their skills * Marketers, operators, and product-adjacent professionals * Non-technical builders who want to ship real AI projects * Anyone curious about AI but overwhelmed by the technical barrier ABOUT SCOTT SIMSON Scott Simson is the founder of AI Marketing World, a leading event and education platform focused on practical AI adoption for marketers, operators, and builders. Scott works at the intersection of AI, marketing, and product experimentation, helping professionals understand how to apply emerging tools without getting lost in hype or unnecessary complexity. His work emphasizes real-world use cases—how AI actually gets implemented inside workflows, teams, and early-stage products. He is particularly known for translating fast-moving AI trends into accessible frameworks that non-technical audiences can use to build, test, and ship ideas quickly. Scott has been featured on ABC, NBC News, Fox, and in many other publications. Connect with him at [https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottsimson/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/scottsimson/).

**People Analytics 101: Making Sense of Compensation Data** Compensation data is one of the most widely used and widely misunderstood forms of people analytics. The session will cover where compensation data comes from, including market pricing data, internal payroll data, and benchmarking sources, and how companies think about structuring and analyzing that information. We will explore how compensation data is leveraged to set salary ranges, manage internal equity, support hiring and retention, and align pay with business strategy. A portion of the session will address common data challenges and limitations, such as market noise, inconsistent job matching, and incomplete datasets, while keeping the primary focus on practical use rather than technical depth. The session will also look ahead at where the space is going, including the growing impact of pay transparency laws, expanding pay equity requirements, and emerging regulations in the US and Europe that require organizations to report on gender and pay gaps. The goal is to give attendees a clear mental model for how compensation analytics works today and why getting it right is becoming increasingly critical. (note: we are back at Rev1 this month!) **About Our Speaker** [Alex Moore](https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexscottmoore/) is the founder of [Moore Cooperative](https://moorecooperative.com/), where he advises organizations on compensation strategy, pay equity, and people analytics. His work focuses on helping organizations like the Ohio Supreme Court design, analyze, and communicate compensation systems that are data-informed, defensible, and aligned with organizational goals. Alex lives in Granville, Ohio and has three little kiddos. More info at [cbusdaw.com](https://cbusdaw.com)

I love my job and one of the main things I do is help customers get going with any of the data technologies at Microsoft. Right now there are a lot of my customers asking about Microsoft Fabric. It's hard to weave across all the shiny new options across the Fabric landscape, let alone figure out where it fits into your organization. In this session we'll focus on answering one question - how can I get data into Fabric? We'll talk through the "it depends" options and see some of the options in live demos.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.

**Abstract:** The Advanced Photon Source (APS) is an X-ray light source at Argonne National Laboratory where researchers perform imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy experiments at 68 specialized beamlines. APS recently completed a major upgrade that made it the brightest synchrotron in the world and upgraded many of the beamlines to take advantage of the dramatically brighter, more coherent beam. These new capabilities are increasing the facility’s raw data production from <10 PB/year before the upgrade to >100 PB/year once all instruments are back online. To meet this data challenge, the APS Beamline Data Pipeline project team is partnering with beamline staff to develop and deploy science data pipelines that use a common set of open-source software tools (many written in Python) to link instruments with the Polaris supercomputer at the Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) for data processing. This talk will describe the APS data systems, our file-based and streaming pipeline templates, and some of the open-source software we use to extract scientific insights from beamline data. **Audience Takeaway:** Open source Python data acquisition and analysis tools are ubiquitous at the APS. Many of the packages that are mentioned can be found at [https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource](https://github.com/AdvancedPhotonSource). This is a *hybrid* event.
