Captain’s Toolkit: Prompting

Charting New Waters: Using AI in Trade Series — Event #2

Knowing what AI can do is one thing. Knowing how to ask it for the right result is another.

Join the International Trade Council of Greater Kansas City for the second event in our Charting New Waters: Using AI in Trade Series, focused on one of the most practical AI skills professionals can develop: prompting.

Captain’s Toolkit: Prompting will take a trade-focused look at how better prompts can improve productivity, research, analysis, and everyday workflows. This session is designed to move beyond simply “asking AI a question” and help participants understand how and why prompt structure matters.

What You’ll Explore

• Effective prompting techniques — Learn how to structure prompts to generate more specific, relevant, and useful results.
• Practical trade applications — Explore ways AI can assist with meeting minutes, research, data analysis, and other common professional tasks.
• The “why” behind the prompt — Understand how context, clarity, and structure influence the quality of AI-generated results.
• Improving your workflow — Discover ways to incorporate prompting into the tools and processes you already use.

Whether you're brand new to AI or already using it regularly, this session will give you practical techniques you can take back to work and put into practice.
