Power of People Summit Session:

AI in Action: Hands-On with AI in 2026

This isn't a lecture about what AI might do someday, it's a hands-on session where you'll actually use it. Whether you've been experimenting with AI daily or haven't touched it yet, this workshop meets you where you are. You'll work directly with AI tools using real (non-proprietary) scenarios, see how it can simplify the work you're already doing—research, analysis, presentations, communication—and walk away knowing exactly how to put it to use when you get back to your desk. The final portion of the session will go deeper for those ready to explore more advanced capabilities and integration concepts - buckle up! Bring your laptop or phone, an open mind, and a willingness to be surprised by what's possible.

About Nick

Nick Pericle grew up in technology. He's worked with companies across industrial organizations: HVAC, electrical, plumbing, industrial, and building materials - with one focus: how technology makes organizations more profitable through efficiency and leverage.

As founder of Tenexity, Nick has led projects that have saved organizations tens of thousands of hours and added tens of millions to their bottom lines. But what sets him apart is his obsession with practical. He doesn't do death-by-PowerPoint—he gets people hands-on, building prompts and testing tools so they walk out knowing exactly how to use AI in their actual jobs. And because this space moves faster than anything he's seen in his career, you'll find him up late most nights figuring out what's new and what it means for the companies he serves.

Nick's not here to talk about what AI might do someday. He's here to show you what it can do literally right now.
