AI for Your Business and Where to Start

Cut through the AI hype and learn what it actually means for your small business — no technical background required.

Many small business owners hear about AI constantly but feel overwhelmed by the hype, confused by technical jargon, and uncertain about whether it's actually relevant to their business. There's also real concern about security, privacy, and how to use AI responsibly. This workshop cuts through the noise by translating AI from an intimidating, abstract concept into something real and practical.

• Getting Started with AI Tools — Explore how to approach AI as a practical business tool and learn how to ask the right questions to solve your actual problems.
