# Join Us for a Hands-On Workshop on Retrieval Augmented Generation at Coding from Beach

This Thursday evening, 6th June at 6pm, join the Noosa/Sunshine Coast’s community of software devs, engineers, makers and hackers at our next Coding from Beach meetup (6 June, 6-8pm)!

It’ll be a hands-on workshop on RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation), a technique that combines the power of large language models (LLMs) like GPT with external data sources to generate more accurate and up-to-date responses.

Long time CfB member, Bert van Brakel, will take us through a hands-on workshop to understand how RAG works and a step by step tutorial for setting up RAG with your own data source.

We’ll also get a ‘show and tell’ demo from Sam Meddows on an interesting AI project he’s been building.

For Python beginners, we will once again have a dedicated class to help you keep moving forward with your newfound programming skills.

Thanks to the support of our wonderful sponsors at Bendigo Bank - Community Bank Sunshine Coast, we will start off at 6pm with networking over gourmet pizza, craft beer & cold drinks, before we head inside for the talks/workshop.

Please, please RSVP (it’s free), so we cater for you! [Link](https://lnkd.in/g73S8jf7)
