Join Gorge Women in Business for hands-on exploration of practical AI tools for small businesses. The event will kick off with an overview of the evening’s goal: providing practical AI approaches that work across tools and can be effectively adapted for a wide range of small business types.

We’ll introduce our speakers, hear a bit about their experience using AI, and then dive in!

Attendees will then break into one of three focused sessions:

AI As your Thought Partner - Briea O'Duinn
- A philosophy & simple framework to leverage Claude as a thought partner in strategic business research & deliverables.

Content Creation (Images, Marketing, Branding, Social media) - Lisa Mullis
- Helping people understand the distinction between their voice and AI's - and avoid sounding robotic - will be useful across any LLM tool. Will also address a hot topic around AI detection and new regulations being enforced - while also remaining relevant even as the technology advances.

Business Operations/Automation - Sam Struck
- Using AI to do the repeatable work you are already doing slowly — quoting, follow-up, admin — and having it come to you on a schedule instead of waiting for you to remember it exists.

The event is structured so that attendees rotate to two of the three different sessions. Speakers will focus on one (or two) specific problems to solve/address, to ensure that attendees are leaving with short, actionable takeaways they can use immediately in their day to day, not just pie in the sky generalizations.

Plus you can expect excellent networking, delicious burritos from T-Quito El Hambre, and drinks!

Don’t miss it -space is limited! RSVP now and pass this along to a friend as well!
Let’s grow, learn, and build our businesses together in the heart of the Gorge. We cannot wait to see you there!
