AI at Work: A Hands-On AI Workshop for Small Business

Tuesday, February 2, 2027 & May 11, 2027 | 8:00 AM–5:00 PM | Berrien County, Michigan

AI is changing how small businesses work—but where do you actually start?

AI at Work is a full-day, hands-on workshop designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, managers, and professionals who want to move beyond simply asking AI questions and start using it to solve real business problems.

Bring your laptop. Bring your business. Put AI to work.

Throughout four practical, two-hour sessions, participants will work directly with today's AI tools to analyze business data, create social media campaigns, develop professional content, and improve everyday productivity.

What You'll Learn

AI + Your Business Data
Discover how AI and Codex can work with Excel and Google Sheets to clean data, create formulas, identify trends, generate charts, and turn spreadsheets into useful business insights.

ChatGPT + Social Media Marketing
Turn a single business idea into a complete marketing campaign. Use ChatGPT to develop Facebook and Instagram posts, promotional messaging, content ideas, images, and a practical content calendar.

AI + Content & Design
Go from a blank page to professional business content. Use ChatGPT for brainstorming and writing and explore Claude and AI-assisted design workflows to develop flyers, promotional materials, newsletters, guides, and other business content.

AI + Business Productivity
Discover practical ways AI can help with the work that consumes your day—from customer emails and meeting notes to SOPs, FAQs, document summaries, job descriptions, and repetitive business tasks.

This Isn't an AI Lecture

This workshop is built around learning by doing. You'll follow demonstrations, complete hands-on exercises, and apply what you're learning to real-world business situations.

The goal isn't to make you an AI expert.

The goal is to help you become better at running your business with AI.

Who Should Attend?

This workshop is ideal for small and medium-sized business owners, entrepreneurs, managers, marketing professionals, nonprofit leaders, and professionals who want practical, approachable ways to incorporate AI into their everyday work.

No advanced technical or programming experience is required.

What to Bring

Bring a laptop and charger, access to your AI accounts, and—most importantly—your ideas, questions, and real business challenges.

By the end of the day, you'll leave with practical AI skills, reusable techniques, content you've created, and new ideas for saving time and getting more from your business data and marketing.

Four sessions. One day. Real business results.

UNDERSTAND YOUR DATA • MARKET YOUR BUSINESS • CREATE BETTER CONTENT • SAVE TIME
