AI & Cybersecurity for Growth Minded Businesses

Learn to use AI to work smarter and stay secure. Hands on half-day with live demos, attack stories, a take home framework, and lunch.

• 💼 Built for small teams (1–50 employees) — AI is no longer optional. It’s how smaller businesses compete with larger ones, but most advice is either too vague or too technical to use.
• 🔍 Cuts through the noise — In one morning and afternoon, you’ll see exactly how real businesses are using AI today in practical, repeatable ways.
• 🧠 Learn a simple framework — Walk away with a clear method for getting better results from any AI tool, no matter your industry or experience level.
• 🛡️ Hear from cybersecurity + insurance experts — Understand the real threats hitting businesses your size and what steps actually protect you.
• 🚫 No fluff. No sales pitches. Just practical strategies you can put to work this week.
• 🤝 Limited to 40 attendees — Keeps the session interactive, personal, and high‑value.

Doors open at 9:30am
Lunch provided.

Info: A three perspective look at protecting your business:
Giuseppe Rodriguez: 20 minutes on good cybersecurity habits every business should follow, plus real-world stories of attacks that hit small and mid sized businesses like yours: what happened, what it cost, and what could have prevented it.
Carmine Cicalese: Cybersecurity strategy for businesses that don’t have (or can’t afford) a full time cyber team, with an emphasis on making informed, risk based decisions and leaving plenty of room for Q&A and interaction.
Brian Mahon: How cyber insurance works, what it actually covers, and how it fits into your overall defense strategy.
We’ll keep cybersecurity “boring” in the best way: clear, practical, and focused on reducing surprises.
