VIATEC AI Meetup: Technology Track

VIATEC AI Meetup: Technology Track

Thursday, June 25, 2026 (11:30 AM - 1:30 PM) (PDT)

Description

The Evolution of Prompting (Prompt like it's 2019)

Doors open at 11:30 and presentations start promptly at Noon.

Are you curious about how AI can transform your business and career? Join us at the VIATEC AI Meetup.

Everyone is welcome.

Join us as Calum Bird of Trelent covers the evolution of AI prompting.

Prompting has changed beyond recognition over the past seven years. The query that extracted useful results from GPT-2 in 2019 looks nothing like what gets work done by GPT-5 today. "Useful" didn't mean the same thing back then, either.

This talk traces the evolution of how we prompt LLMs, shows how effective techniques changed in lockstep with the models themselves, and will help participants build durable prompting skills grounded in how these systems actually work.

Coffee and Tea will be served.

Feel free to grab a lunch at the Fort Cafe, located on site.
