AI at Work: Practical AI for Business Owners
About this Event
AI is everywhere. But what can it actually do for your business?
AI at Work: Practical AI for Business Owners is a hands-on, in-person workshop designed for business owners and professionals who want to understand how AI can be used in everyday work—without coding or complicated technology.
This is not a technical conference or a presentation about the future of AI. The focus is simple: practical tools and workflows you can use right now.
