AAF Midlands: October Lunch & Learn with Able SC

Join Us for a Thought-Provoking Luncheon: AI in Marketing - Tools, Tips and Inclusion:

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword—it’s transforming the way marketing and communications professionals create, connect, and measure impact. But as powerful as AI is, it also comes with risks. Without intention and care, these tools can unintentionally reinforce stereotypes, amplify bias, and create new barriers, especially for people with disabilities.

This Lunch & Learn with Able SC will bring the local marketing and communications community together to explore how AI can serve not just as an engine of innovation, but also as a force for accessibility and equity.

Why This Event Matters:

• Inclusivity is the future of marketing. Today’s audiences demand brands that see them, hear them, and design with them in mind. This luncheon will highlight how AI can expand—not limit—your reach by helping you create more inclusive campaigns.
• Accessibility drives connection. We’ll showcase ways AI is already being used to open doors, from adaptive content creation to accessible design tools that make marketing materials usable by everyone.
• Responsible use protects our profession. Marketers and communicators have a responsibility to shape AI adoption in ways that are ethical, transparent, and people-centered. This session will give you tools and insights to lead that conversation in your own workplace.

Who Should Attend:

This luncheon is designed for marketing, PR, communications, and creative professionals who want to:

• Stay ahead of AI’s rapid evolution.
• Build campaigns that reflect diversity and foster belonging.
• Connect with peers in the local community who care about innovation and responsibility.

Whether you’re just starting to explore AI tools or are already integrating them into your workflows, you’ll leave with practical takeaways and new perspectives on how to use AI in a way that empowers, rather than excludes.

Let’s make sure the future of marketing is not only smarter, but also fairer, more inclusive, and more human.
