AI Coworking
You keep hearing that AI will change everything. When do you actually sit down and figure out what it means for you? This is the time.
What to expect:
A hands-on, drop-in AI coworking session for women and gender-expansive entrepreneurs and professionals who want to feel more confident using AI in their business or at work. Bring your laptop, bring a project idea, and spend the evening learning how to use AI with a dedicated expert in the room. No tech background required.
Coffee, tea, water, and dinner (GF, DF, Vegan options) will be provided.
Who this is for:
Women entrepreneurs and professionals who
are curious about AI but haven’t had the time or support to dive in,
are non-technical and want powerful results without needing to code or build automations,
are tired of feeling overwhelmed and pressured to use AI,
want a safe and structured environment to learn AI in a sustainable way, and
learn best by doing with expert support in the room.
