AI for the Rest of Us: A Roundtable for Small Business Owners
AI is everywhere, but if you run a small business, what actually works?
Join a room full of business owners for an honest conversation about the AI tools that are saving them time, the ones that flopped, and the problems nobody's solved yet.
This isn't a keynote. It's not a "listening" event. It's a roundtable where real business owners share what they're actually using day to day: from handling customer calls and messages, to scheduling, marketing, follow-ups, and the admin that eats your week.
What we'll cover:
Keeping up with customer calls and messages when you're busy
Scheduling and admin that takes hours out of your day
Marketing without a marketing team
Following up with leads before they go cold
What's worth paying for vs. what's free and good enough
By the end, we'll compile a shared list of every AI tool the room recommends, sourced from the people who actually use them, not a sponsored listicle.
Who this is for:
Small business owners, solopreneurs, freelancers, and operators across any industry. No technical background needed. If you run a business and you're curious about AI, you belong in this room.
Seats are limited to keep the conversation real.
