Expert-led AI Building — Hands-On Workshop
About this program: AI is changing how businesses operate. This full-day workshop shows you exactly how to put it to work — in your marketing, your operations, and your day-to-day decisions.

This isn’t a lecture. You’ll work directly with AI tools throughout the day and leave with things you can use immediately.
Bring a laptop. No technical background required.
Participants will leave with:
- a clearer understanding of what generative AI can and cannot do well
- practical use cases relevant to their role or organization
