About this Event
Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses market, communicate, create content, serve customers, and improve productivity. Many business owners feel overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or hesitant to ask questions.
The AI Peer Circle is a facilitated learning community for entrepreneurs, business owners, service providers, and professionals who want to explore AI together in a practical, judgment-free environment. This is not a traditional workshop, it’s not a sales event and it is in person.
We will learn through discussion, peer experiences, live demonstrations, and hands-on activities based on real business challenges. Every session has a focus on practical application, collaborative problem-solving, and peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.
The goal is to learn new AI skills, tools resources, make business connections and increase your confidence in AI.
We start with a series of 3, however, the intent is to continue exploring emerging AI tools, best practices, case studies, and business opportunities.
