Northern Arizona Artificial Intelligence Meetup...Beyond the Prompt

Learn the power of "Context Engineering" and how anyone can use its principles in their workplace or home.

As we move further into 2026, the speed of AI development is accelerating from simple chat tools to autonomous agentic systems. But as the engine gets faster, the risk of "drifting off course" grows.

David V. Moore, Systems Engineer and Founder of Quantum Wayfinder Technologies™, will present a roadmap for navigating this new landscape.

This isn't just a talk for tech experts—it is a survival guide for anyone using AI in their business or home. David will introduce PureSpective™, a methodology designed to act as the "Steering Wheel and Transmission" for AI, ensuring perfect alignment between human intent and machine execution.

Come Be Part of the Learning, Sharing, Having Fun, and Building Cool Stuff in 2026!
