AI is rapidly becoming a core driver of how businesses operate, attract customers and grow. If you're already using tools like ChatGPT or CoPilot, this hands-on AI strategy session will help you take the next step: applying AI with intention, learning new applications and preparing your organization for the future.

Designed for intermediate users, this workshop focuses on strategic applications, live demos, and emerging trends—so you can make smarter decisions about how AI fits into your daily work and long-term vision.

What We’ll Cover:

• How to align AI tools with your business strategy—what to automate, where to scale, and where human input still matters
• Demos of AI tools that boost efficiency, creativity, and consistency across marketing, planning, and admin tasks
• Using AI agents for tasks like research, scheduling, content generation, and customer interaction
• The impact of AI-powered search on how people find your business—and what you should update now
• Ethical and responsible AI use—maintaining authenticity and transparency in a tech-driven world
• What’s ahead: key trends and tools shaping the future of AI-powered business in the next 1–3 years

This session is ideal for business owners and professionals who are already working with AI tools and want to build a more strategic, innovative, and future-focused approach.
