About this Event

Business owners hear about AI every week, and are right to be skeptical of the noise. This hands-on workshop cuts through it. In two hours, participants get a clear answer to a question many companies are asking: what is AI, and what is not?

You will learn where AI creates real value in a business like theirs, what the next level of AI looks like in their company, how to choose a sensible first use case, and which risks to manage around data, privacy, and human oversight. In the hands-on segment, each participant identifies a realistic first AI opportunity in their own business, using a simple framework provided in the session.

What this looks like in specific sectors: example questions the session will speak to:

  • Construction: Where do estimates and bids lose accuracy, and how much margin disappears between quote and completion? Can change orders, RFIs, and site paperwork stop eating supervisors' time?
  • Professional services: How much billable time goes to drafting, document review, and client intake? Can AI help with any of it safely, when client confidentiality is on the line?
  • Hospitality: Can next month's demand be forecast well enough to staff and buy right? What are hundreds of customer reviews actually saying, and where is food cost quietly leaking?


Audience: Business owners and senior managers. No technical background needed.

Takeaway: A practical 30/60/90-day adoption checklist members can use right away.
