AI Workshop

Artificial intelligence is becoming more accessible, and it represents a fundamental shift in how many of us manage our businesses and deliver value to our clients.

Whether you’re an AI early adopter or just beginning to wonder what it’s all about, this workshop provides a friendly environment to learn alongside your peers. This informal, interactive "think tank" is designed to help you move from AI theory to practical implementation. We’ll combine problem solving with show & tell to help you understand AI better.

AI Problem Solving

Bring your specific challenges. Are you looking for ways to automate parts of your workflow? Wondering about the ethics of using AI in your niche? Struggling to write prompts that produce useful results? We’ll crowdsource solutions from the collective experience of the group.

AI Show & Tell

We’ll share what’s working for us. Attendees are encouraged to show a quick demo of a prompt that saved them hours, a new tool they’ve integrated into their practice, or lessons learned from AI experiments that did not go as planned.

Examples of topics we might discuss:

• Automating administrative tasks.
• Using AI to create content for websites and social media.
• Enhancing client deliverables.
• Keeping data safe.
• Understanding legal and ethical considerations.

No one is an expert in everything AI offers but we can help each other stay ahead of the curve.
