AI isn’t here to replace your strategy…it is here to remove the friction between idea and execution. In this practical, demo-driven session, you’ll learn how to use tools like ChatGPT to save time, improve marketing, and streamline everyday business tasks without needing a technical background. We’ll walk through real examples, including creating content, evaluating vendors, drafting communications, and turning everyday conversations into usable business assets.

At the same time, this session introduces an often-overlooked side of AI: risk. With decades of experience in cybersecurity and government systems, Kenneth McMahon will provide insight into common vulnerabilities, data considerations, and what small business owners should be paying attention to as they adopt these tools.

You’ll leave with actionable prompts, real outputs, and a clearer understanding of how to use AI effectively, while avoiding common mistakes and staying aware of potential risks. This session is designed to be practical, not theoretical, so you can immediately apply what you learn.

This session is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal, compliance, or cybersecurity consulting advice.
