A Free 3-Day AI Workshop Starts October 14
A free, live, three-day AI for Business workshop runs October 14 to 16, online, 11:00 AM to 3:30 PM Eastern each day. It normally costs $197. If you run a small business and still aren't sure where AI fits, three afternoons of watching it applied to real marketing and sales is the cheapest way to find out.
What is the AI for Business Summit, exactly?
It's a virtual, interactive workshop built for business owners, coaches, consultants and agency owners, not developers. The organizers say it covers using AI for lead generation, content, social media, sales and building a small team of AI-assisted virtual assistants. The sessions are live, so you can ask questions as things are built in front of you.

Why should a busy owner give up three afternoons?
Because most owners are not behind on AI. They just haven't seen it used in a business that looks like theirs. Surveys this year keep finding the same thing: the smallest businesses are the most likely to say AI "doesn't apply" to them, and the owners on the fence say what they want most is clearer proof it pays and practical, hands-on training.
A live workshop answers both. You see the tools used on real tasks, you see what the output actually looks like, and you can judge for yourself whether it would save you time.
Go in with a list: the three tasks that eat most of your week.
What should you take away from it?
Go in with a short list, not an open mind. Before day one, write down the three tasks that eat the most of your week. Common ones:
- Following up with new leads who didn't book
- Writing posts, emails and quotes
- Reminders, confirmations and rescheduling
- Answering the same five questions in your inbox
Then watch every session through one filter: would this take one of those tasks off my plate? If the answer is yes, write down the tool and the exact steps. If you leave with even one working process, the three afternoons paid for themselves.
What if you learn it and still don't have time to set it up?
That's the most common outcome, and it's normal. Knowing what AI can do and having it running in your business are two different jobs. Plenty of owners come out of a workshop fired up and then go straight back into a full week.
That's where we come in. AI Biz Connect sets up the follow-up, the reminders, the booking and the content workflow for you, inside one connected system, so the ideas from the workshop actually get used.
Frequently asked questions
Is the AI for Business Summit really free?
Yes. The registration page lists it as free for this run, with a normal price of $197. Like most free events, expect offers for paid programs during the sessions. You are not obliged to buy anything to attend and get the value from the three days.
Do I need technical skills to follow along?
No. The event is aimed at business owners and professionals, not programmers. If you can use email, a web browser and a phone, you can follow the sessions. Bring a laptop so you can try things as they are shown rather than only watching.
What if I can't attend all three days live?
Check the registration page for replay details before you sign up, since replay access is often limited. If you can only make one day, pick the session closest to your biggest bottleneck, usually leads or content, and plan your notes around that.
How is this different from what AI Biz Connect does?
The Summit teaches you how AI can be used. AI Biz Connect does the setup for you. Many owners do both: they learn what's possible at a workshop, then have us build the parts that would take them weeks to configure themselves.
