April 2026 Educational Webinars
The Content Wrangler hosts roughly 100 one-hour web presentations and talk shows each year
This month on The Content Wrangler webinar channel, we’ve lined up a strong run of one-hour online events for tech writers and other info dev pros who want to better understand where content, AI, structure, and strategy are headed next. From a plain-language look at how AI-powered retrieval actually works, to practical guidance for solo writers and small teams, to fresh thinking about traceable knowledge, messaging alignment, AI adoption, and the role metadata plays in shaping digital experiences, these upcoming sessions are designed to you make sense of fast-moving change without drowning in jargon.
You’ll hear from an impressive group of experts, including Suraj Desai of Digg, Erin Servais of AI for Editors, Dominik Wever of Promptitude, Sarah Johnson of Content-first Design, Mark Wentowski of Docs Geek, and Jerry Bartlett of Content Pro Tech.
Everyone who registers gets access to the recording after the live broadcast ends. That means even if you can’t attend live, you should still register so you can watch the on-demand version whenever it suits your schedule. And if one hour of learning is never enough, The Content Wrangler webinar channel already hosts more than 800 recorded one-hour educational events for technical writers and other content professionals.
🗓️ [April 7] How AI-Powered Content Retrieval Actually Works
Join Suraj Desai, Lead Data Scientist at Digg, as he demystifies how modern AI-powered retrieval actually works. You’ll gain a clear understanding of semantic search, embeddings, and hybrid architectures—explained in plain language with no jargon or technical prerequisites required. Drawing from real-world experience building large-scale discovery systems, Suraj will show you how these tools connect people to the right information at the right moment.
🗓️ [April 8] Right-Size AI: Tips and Tricks For Solo Writers and Small Teams
On this episode of "Let's Talk AI," show host Melanie Denise Davis will chat with Erin Servais, founder of AI for Editors and Servais Training Company, about practical ways to leverage your existing skills — like pattern matching, technical interviewing, and content analysis — to make AI work for you, even without the resources of an enterprise.
🗓️ [April 9] AI Adoption in Technical Documentation: 2026 Survey Breakdown
Join Dominik Wever, Founder of Promptitude, as he breaks down what hundreds of experienced practitioners reveal about their real-world use of AI tools, the challenges they encounter, and where they see the greatest opportunities for improvement.
🗓️ [April 9] A Framework For Untangling Messaging Misalignment
Join Sarah Johnson, Founder and Strategic Consultant at Content-first Design, as she introduces the content-first double diamond framework — a practical approach for stopping meaning drift before it disrupts your user experience. You’ll learn what meaning drift is, why it happens, and how unchecked misalignment in messaging impacts both customers and teams.
🗓️ [April 21] From Content Chunks to Traceable Knowledge
In this session, API Documentation development expert, Mark Wentowski, will share a small prototype that experiments with a different approach. Instead of breaking documents into fragments, it starts from structured sources (such as API specifications) and preserves the relationships already present in that information. This allows AI-generated answers to be traced back to the underlying source and structure.
🗓️ [April 30] What Online Music Metadata Teaches Us About Content
During this episode of Coffee and Content, discover the hidden layers of digital music and how metadata shapes your listening experience. Jerry Bartlett, Content Operations Consultant at Content Pro Tech, will reveal why even simple questions (like when the Beatles’ first LP was released or where to file Daft Punk) can lead to confusion without expert guidance.
