About this Event

AI From Curiosity to Capability: Practical Uses for Public Sector

Artificial intelligence is already part of everyday work in local governments and board-governed organizations, from budgets and reports to engagement and communications. The question is no longer whether to use AI, but how to use it responsibly and with confidence.

This one-day, practical workshop combines communications strategy with hands-on AI application for staff working in local government, non-profits, Chambers of Commerce, and school boards.

By the end of the session, participants will know how to use AI responsibly, create Copilot agents, apply automation in real workflows, use Copilot to support budgeting and reports, and understand appropriate AI use during upcoming elections. The focus is practical skills, clear guardrails, and real-world use.
The full agenda will be emailed to registrants the week before the event. If you have any questions we are just an email away! [email protected] and [email protected]
A special reduced rate is available if there are four or more people from the same organization. Email Julie to learn more.
