About this Event
AI for Veteran-Owned Businesses
Work Smarter, Strengthen Your Business, and Compete for Government Contracts
Includes a Hands-On Capability Statement Lab
Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses conduct research, develop content, communicate with customers, review documents, manage administrative work, and pursue new opportunities.
This practical, in-person workshop will help Veteran business owners understand and apply generative AI tools to real business challenges.
Matt Quinn of Be Kind AI Advisors will demonstrate how AI can support research, writing, marketing, document analysis, administrative tasks, and everyday business productivity.
Ian Quan of the Illinois APEX Accelerator will connect these tools to government contracting, including procurement readiness, opportunity research, solicitation review, SAM.gov, the SBA small-business portal, and capability statements.
The program will conclude with a Hands-On Capability Statement Lab. Attendees will use their own company information to begin building or improving a capability statement that accurately reflects their business, experience, qualifications, and brand.
