🎯 100% LIVE — 4 intensive sessions across 2 weekends, fully interactive and recorded for your offline review. Agentic AI for Leaders — from vision to autonomous execution. AI that merely predicts is yesterday’s story. The future belongs to agentic systems — AI that reasons, decides, and acts on your behalf. In this two-weekend executive sprint, you’ll learn how to design and fund agentic AI workflows that move from pilot to production in 90 days. Built by the team behind BloombergGPT, AWS Bedrock, and Cerebras AI, this program equips leaders to move beyond automation into AI agency — systems that deliver business outcomes autonomously, responsibly, and at scale.

Lead Agentic AI Transformation: Build Systems That Think and Act

Build a 90-day agentic AI plan you can execute

Identify and prioritize agentic opportunities across your org

Design a complete agentic workflow blueprint (end-to-end)

Quantify ROI, cost, and risk with a leadership dashboard

Create an AI Governance Charter for safe autonomy

Deliver a board-ready pitch and get capstone feedback

The Agentic Executive: C-suite leaders driving next-gen AI. Align agentic systems with business goals and lead transformation with impact.

The Strategic Integrator: Managers bridging tech and business. Deploy agentic workflows, measure ROI, and scale AI that acts and learns.

The Visionary Founder: Entrepreneurs and innovators. Use agentic AI to automate, grow faster, and future-proof your organization

In this transformative course, you'll journey from being an AI novice to becoming a confident and skilled Generative AI Engineer. You'll gain a deep understanding of the fundamental concepts behind Large Language Models (LLMs) and their applications in solving real-world engineering challenges. Through hands-on projects and expert guidance, you'll master the art of prompt engineering, enabling you to effectively communicate with and guide LLMs to achieve desired outcomes. You'll explore cutting-edge techniques like Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) and fine-tuning, empowering you to build sophisticated AI systems that can process and generate human-like text. As you progress through the course, you'll develop the skills to create agentic systems that can autonomously perform complex tasks and make intelligent decisions. You'll also learn best practices for deploying and monitoring LLM applications in production environments, ensuring scalability and reliability. By the end of this course, you'll have a robust portfolio of Generative AI projects showcasing your ability to leverage LLMs for various engineering applications. You'll be equipped with the knowledge and practical experience needed to drive innovation in your organization and make a significant impact in the field of AI engineering. Some of the tools we will use during the course are: OpenAI chatGPT, Amazon SageMaker, Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic's Claude, LangChain, LlamaIndex, HuggingFace Whether you're a software engineer looking to expand your skill set, a data scientist seeking to harness the power of Generative AI, or a domain expert aiming to incorporate AI into your projects, this course will provide you with the tools and confidence to succeed. Join us on this transformative journey and unlock the limitless potential of Generative AI in engineering. Schedule at-a-glance: ⏰ Time:&nbsp;10:30 am - 12:00pm EST (New York time) P.S.
