Cut Through the Noise. Get Practical. Get Ahead.

Artificial Intelligence is dominating conversations—but for many business owners, it still feels unclear, overwhelming, or difficult to apply.

This session is designed to change that.

Join us for a focused, practical, and highly relevant presentation that breaks AI down into what actually matters for your business—right now. No hype. No jargon. Just real-world insight and usable takeaways.

What You’ll Learn

This is not a technical deep dive. It’s a business-focused session built for decision-makers.

You’ll walk away with:

• A clear understanding of what AI actually is (and isn’t) in a business context

• Where AI is already impacting small and mid-sized businesses

• Practical, low-barrier ways to start using AI immediately

• Common mistakes and risks to avoid when adopting AI tools

• How to identify opportunities in your own business without wasting time or money

Why Attend

Whether you’re curious, skeptical, or already experimenting with AI, this session will help you move forward with clarity and confidence.

This is about:

• Saving time

• Improving efficiency

• Staying competitive

• Making informed decisions—not reactive ones

If you’ve been asking “Where do I even start?”—this is where.

Guest Speaker: Bobbi Way

Bobbi is the Executive Director of the Battle River Community Foundation, where her commitment to stewarding community resources well led her down an unexpected path, getting certified in AI Fundamentals through MasterClass on her own time. That hands-on curiosity, combined with more than three years of exploring AI tools, is what brings her to the stage today to share what she’s learned with local business leaders.

Expect a grounded, engaging session focused on what actually works—not theory.

• Connect with fellow business owners and professionals
