Want to give your members more than a single talk? An AI seminar turns a half day or full day into a guided journey from curiosity to confidence.
Join Mark Thompson for a customized program of up to four sessions that build on each other, exploring how today’s AI tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini, are transforming genealogy research. Across the day, your members will discover how AI can help them work with documents, photographs, and records more efficiently than ever before, with real-world examples of breakthroughs made possible by these tools, and honest guidance about where AI shines and where proven research methods still matter most. Every program is customized for your audience from the talks in this catalog, and can range from beginner-friendly introductions to advanced, hands-on tracks. For the right event, the seminar can be co-presented with Steve Little, Mark’s co-host on the Family History AI Show.
Whether your members are brand new to AI or ready to deepen their skills, they’ll leave with a clear roadmap for making these powerful tools a practical part of their genealogy workflow.
