A plain-English introduction to AI for Central Valley business owners. Buffet luncheon included.
About this Event

AI is here. It’s moving fast. And most of the information out there is either too technical or too vague to be useful if you’re actually running a business.

This is a plain-English, no-jargon, no-sales-pitch walkthrough of what AI is, how it got here, and what it means for businesses in the Central Valley.

What you’ll get:

  • A working understanding of how AI got here and why it works now
  • A realistic view of what today’s AI can and can’t do
  • Real examples of AI running inside Central Valley businesses
  • A framework for deciding where AI fits in your business
  • The vocabulary to talk to vendors, staff, and advisors without getting snowed

Format:

45-minute talk + 15-minute open Q&A + meet-and-greet

Who it’s for:

Business owners, ag leadership, professional services, and civic leaders across the Central Valley. No technical background required. If you run a business, advise one, or lead an organization in the Valley — this is for you.

What we’ll cover:

  • How AI got here - the 5-minute version
  • What AI actually is (and isn’t) today
  • AI in the Central Valley - real examples from real businesses
  • Where to start - a practical framework for your business

Speaker:

Trevor Allen, President - BREAK9
