Claude SMB Workshop with Okavango - Grand Rapids
Learn how to put Claude to work in your small business.
The Claude SMB Workshop in partnership with Bamboo Grand Rapids is coming to Grand Rapids, hosted by Okavango — an Approved Claude SMB Trainer organization.
We'll connect Claude to the tools you already use (QuickBooks, Shopify, Gusto, and more) and run real workflows together: answering leads, turning a voice memo into a priced proposal, closing the books, and a Monday brief that starts your week with cash, leads, and priorities in one place.
What you'll get
A real task working. Bring one of yours (payroll, invoices, marketing, a lead to follow up) and leave with it running in Claude, not just a plan to try it later.
Practical AI fluency: what Claude does well, what to double-check, and where the limits are. Built for business owners, not engineers. No technical background needed.
Help in the room while you build.
One free month of Claude Max (for people new to Claude Max).
