Take a Deep Dive into AI for Small Business
AI might sound like it’s only for big tech companies—but that’s not the case anymore. In this July Deep Dive, facilitators Doogie Levine and Daniel Simkins will break down how small business owners can tap into affordable, easy-to-use AI tools to save time, boost productivity, and work smarter. You’ll see real-life demos, learn what AI can (and can’t) do, and get your questions answered in a no-pressure, show-and-tell-style session designed with non-tech folks in mind.
