  AITP Jackson Lunch & Learn

  
  

  

  
  

  Artificial intelligence is no longer experimental—it’s a strategic imperative. Yet, most organizations struggle with where to begin. This session breaks down the five-layer AI stack—Infrastructure, Models, Data, Orchestration, and Applications—providing a clear framework for designing and deploying real-world AI solutions.

  Backed by current industry data showing 77% of enterprises prioritizing AI and 72% of projects failing due to data and infrastructure gaps, this session focuses on execution—not theory.

  What You’ll Learn

  • How to structure AI initiatives using a proven 5-layer architecture
  • Key tradeoffs between cloud vs. on-premise infrastructure
  • Selecting the right AI models (open vs. proprietary, size, specialization)
  • Why data pipelines and retrieval (RAG) determine AI success
  • How AI orchestration and agent workflows drive automation and ROI
  • Where AI integrates into real business systems (CRM, ERP, workflows)

  Why Attend

  • Gain a practical blueprint for implementing AI in your organization
  • Understand where most AI projects fail—and how to avoid it
  • Learn how to align AI investments with business outcomes and ROI
  • Network with peers in the Jackson technology and business community

  Building AI Agents: A Hands-On Agent Builder Workshop

  Join AITP Jackson for an interactive, 2.5-hour working session hosted at C Spire Corporate Headquarters in Ridgeland, where participants will move beyond theory and begin building practical AI agents for real business use cases.

  Workshop Overview

  AI is evolving from simple chat interfaces to autonomous, task-oriented agents capable of reasoning, acting, and iterating. This session translates the AI Stack framework into a hands-on build experience, showing how modern AI agents are designed across infrastructure, models, data, and orchestration layers.

  This is a working session—not just a presentation. Participants will follow along as we design and structure an AI agent capable of interacting with data, APIs, and business workflows.

  Participation Requirement (Important)

  To fully participate in the hands-on portion of this workshop, attendees should:

  • Bring a laptop (required for active participation)
  • Have the ability to install software locally (admin rights recommended)
  • Be prepared to download and configure AI development tools during the session

  Participants without a laptop are welcome to attend, but will be limited to observation.

  What You’ll Do

  • Design an AI agent architecture using the 5-layer AI stack
  • Map a real business use case into an agent workflow (Think → Execute → Review)
  • Connect data sources and retrieval systems (RAG)
  • Evaluate model selection strategies (open vs. proprietary)
  • Explore integrations with APIs, CRM, ERP, and internal systems
  • Understand infrastructure considerations (cloud vs. on-premise)

  Who Should Attend

  • IT leaders and architects evaluating AI strategy
  • Developers and engineers building automation solutions
  • Technical professionals interested in hands-on AI implementation
  • Business leaders responsible for operationalizing AI initiatives

  Workshop Format

  • Duration: 2.5 hours
  • Format: Guided build session + live walkthroughs + applied exercises
  • Outcome: A practical foundation for designing and beginning to deploy AI agents

  Key Takeaway

  You will leave with a working understanding of how to build AI agents, not just conceptual knowledge.

  Seats are limited to 25 for this interactive session. Reserve your spot and come prepared to build. REGISTER HERE
