Description


AI At Work: How to Use Artificial Intelligence to Save Time, Cut Costs, and Work Smarter

Featuring Guest Speaker, Mark Veldhoff

Artificial Intelligence isn’t just a futuristic concept—or a tool reserved for big tech companies. Today, AI is accessible, affordable, and ready to help your business solve real-world challenges. From automating repetitive tasks to answering customer questions or analyzing data, AI can help your team do more with less.

In this hands-on workshop, you’ll learn how to put AI “Agents” to work in your business—no tech background required. Guest speaker Mark Veldhoff, CEO of Envizion IT, will break down how AI works in simple terms and guide you through building your own AI-powered assistant.

This session goes beyond theory. You’ll create your own AI Agent using real-world business scenarios—gaining practical experience, increased confidence, and a clear strategy for putting AI into action. Whether you're looking to boost productivity, reduce costs, or experiment with smart automation, this is your chance to explore low-investment, high-impact solutions that deliver real ROI.


Attendees Will Walk Away With:

  • A clear understanding of what AI can (and can't - yet!) do for your business
  • Hands-On Experience creating your own AI Assistant Agent
  • Tips to improve productivity and team capacity - without hiring more staff
  • A simple roadmap to test AI in your organization without a big investment 


Whether you're a tech-savvy entrepreneur or just starting to explore AI, this workshop will give you the tools to lead - not follow - into the AI-powered future.
