Today at Olympic Parktel in Songpa, I delivered a session on 'AI-Powered Digital Marketing' for current and former pro golfers, hosted by the KLPGA (Korea Ladies Professional Golf Association). I arrived early to set up the projector, but no image came up. A notice nearby said 'MacBook and LG Gram are difficult to connect.' The real problem wasn't the laptop, though: the HDMI cable was so long that the signal had weakened. In a case like this, an HDMI extension adapter with its own power supply solves it.
In case venue internet is weak, I always carry a Samsung Galaxy router (SCR-01), a model sold only in Japan. It saved me again today. Surprises on site come with the job of being an instructor. It reminded me that the quality of a session is half content, half on-site response. The professional golfers were deeply engaged. They kept asking how to apply AI to their personal brands, lesson content, and social media. It was a session where we discovered new possibilities together at the point where the specialized world of golf meets AI. I am even more excited that this looks set to lead to a follow-up program on agentic AI.^^b
