GKBA June 2026 Signature Luncheon
About this Event
AI for Business: Practical Tools, Smart Strategy and What Comes Next
Join the Greater Kendall Business Association for a high-impact Signature Luncheon at Fogo de Chão in Downtown Dadeland, featuring a distinguished panel of AI experts who will break down what business owners and professionals need to know about artificial intelligence right now.
AI is no longer something “coming in the future.” It is already changing the way companies market, sell, serve customers, protect data, train teams, improve productivity and make decisions. This luncheon will bring together leaders from education, technology, cybersecurity, sales and business transformation for a practical, real-world conversation designed for today’s business community.
Our panelists will discuss how AI is being used in business, where the opportunities are, what risks professionals need to understand, and how small and mid-sized businesses can begin adopting AI responsibly and effectively.
