Through hands-on exercises matching day-to-day tasks, attendees discover how to save hours daily on email, presentations, and website copy.

Beyond ChatGPT: From AI Hype to Boots on the Ground

In 2023, ChatGPT put artificial intelligence (AI) on the map. In 2026 and beyond, it's reshaping industries. While 92% of Fortune 500 companies are already piloting projects with OpenAI's tools (Financial Times), only 23% of US adults say they have tried ChatGPT (Pew Research). If enterprise companies are learning by doing and others aren't trying new tools, some folks may be left behind. That's a significant competitive opportunity for those ready to take action.
Together, we'll unpack the jargon and understand key terms. Then, we'll explore four key advantages of using AI in business through real-world case studies. Businesses need to craft an AI roadmap and take action to future-proof themselves and thrive in the age of AI.
You'll leave with a clear understanding of AI's business impact and five AI tools you can test today.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Lear 4 key advantages via 4 real-world case studies
Identify 3 primary risks of AI for companies
Discover 5 practical AI tools for businesses

5 Helpful AI Tools Today: See it to Believe! Live Demos

While 73% of business leaders say AI projects are giving them real results (McKinsey Global AI Survey), most people are still just reading about AI instead of actually using it. In a study from MIT and Stanford, workers saw 14% productivity gains using AI tools (CNBC). This gap between knowing about AI and using AI is creating a significant advantage for early adopters. This is your chance to get ahead while others wait around.

Together, we will focus on AI tools you can use today. At the end of this session, you'll leave with five AI tools ready to use and simple ways to include them in your daily work—no more theoretical discussions, just practical applications that save you hours.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES
