Description

What if building software felt less like writing code—and more like describing the outcome you want? Welcome to vibe coding: using generative AI to create apps, automations, and workflows by focusing on intent instead of code.

You bring the idea and the problem to solve; AI helps handle the technical heavy lifting. No traditional developer background required.

In this keynote, Richie Cotton, Senior Data Evangelist at DataCamp, explores how non-technical professionals are using AI-powered tools to automate admin work, streamline operations, and support outreach and program delivery—without adding headcount or stretching budgets.

You’ll explore real use cases in the non-profit space, learn which skills matter most, and understand how generative AI is reshaping roles and teamwork. Whether you’re AI-curious, workflow-obsessed, or just tired of manual busywork, this session will leave you inspired to experiment—and confident that you can start building.
