AI in Action: Your Turn
Last year we talked about AI. This year, you drive.
AI in Action: Your Turn is a free, hands-on AI workshop for anyone who markets a business. No keynote, no slides of robots. Local marketers and educators who use AI every week will demo their real workflows live while you follow along on your own laptop.
Bring a laptop. Leave with workflows you can use Monday. Zero hype.
Schedule
10:30 a.m. — Coffee + networking
11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. — Hands-on sessions, 20 to 25 minutes each
Speakers
Michelle Hayes, Head of Marketing and Communications, Supernal AI
Founder of Cherrytop, an AI-native marketing agency, where she ran agentic-powered brand work for clients across industries.
Francesco V. Donato, Visual Arts Instructor, Pensacola State College
AI as Your Research Assistant: use AI to organize your own material instead of just searching the web. Francesco will build a website live from a folder of files, plus share shortcuts like custom trigger codes and settings that curb AI’s habit of flattering answers.
A third speaker will be announced soon.
What to bring
A laptop. Set up free ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude accounts before you arrive.
Who should come
Business owners, in-house marketers, agency teams, freelancers, and students. If you market a business, even part-time, this is for you.
