AI for SMEs & Young Professionals — Practical Tools, Real Results
Curious about AI but tired of the hype? This in-person session is built for small and medium business owners, founders, and early-career professionals who want to understand what AI can actually do for them — today.

- Honest guidance on costs, risks, data privacy, and what to avoid
