11/9 Women in Business - A.I. Workshop

Description

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming the way businesses operate, and understanding how to use it effectively can create a significant competitive advantage. In partnership with the East County Chamber of Commerce and the Santee Chamber of Commerce, this Women in Business event is led by Brian Westpoint, an AI workshop facilitator and small business strategist dedicated to helping entrepreneurs integrate AI into their day-to-day operations.
Designed for women business owners, solopreneurs, and professionals, this interactive, hands-on session will explore how AI can be used to increase productivity, automate routine tasks, and improve operational efficiency.
