Session 1: What is AI? Demystifying the Buzzwords

Eugina Jordan and Lisa Carter are kicking off AI at the Beach with a no-fluff, human-first conversation about AI: what it is, what it isn’t, and why it matters right now for professionals, business owners, and curious minds alike.

Whether you've never touched ChatGPT or you're drowning in LinkedIn jargon about LLMs, this session will meet you where you are. They’ll unpack the most common AI buzzwords, bust some big myths (no, AI is not coming for all our jobs), and walk through real-world examples of how AI is transforming industries, without needing a PhD or a full-stack dev team.

Expect an interactive, jargon-free panel where nothing’s off limits.

Bring your questions, your curiosity, and even your skepticism; they are here for all of it.

Who it’s for:

➤ SMB and SME leaders
➤ Non-technical professionals
➤ Anyone who wants to “get” AI

Key Takeaways:

• Understand core AI terms in plain English
• Spot what’s hype vs. what’s actually happening
• Learn practical ways AI is used in business today
• Get answers to your biggest “but what does that mean?” questions

Spots are limited.
