AI is no longer a futuristic tool, it’s here, and it’s revolutionizing how we create, market, and sell. Yet most professionals in the promotional products industry are barely scratching the surface of its potential. The secret to unlocking AI’s power lies in prompting, the art of asking the right questions, in the right way, to generate exceptional results. In this workshop, Cliff Quicksell, CSP, MAS+, MASI, will demystify prompt engineering and show you how to collaborate with AI as a true creative partner. You’ll leave with the knowledge, confidence, and actionable strategies to turn ChatGPT-5 into your competitive edge.
