Join us Thursday, November 6, 2:00–6:00 PM at Granite City Workspaces (The Nook & Event Center) for an afternoon of practical AI learning, local business celebration, and easy networking. Expect two hands-on AI sessions for small businesses and creators, three Chamber ribbon cuttings (Rancho Cordova, Roseville, and El Dorado Hills), and a tasting-style happy hour with local vendors—all under one roof in Folsom’s Historic District. Bring your curiosity, your questions, and maybe your next collaborator. It’s not another fluffy “future of work” talk—this one gets tactical, then toasts to new beginnings.

AI Without The Eye Roll w/ Sedale Turbovsky
If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at another AI webinar, this one’s for you. This is about getting your time back by systemizing your business. Designed for business owners who are curious but skeptical, it focuses on practical tools that make daily work easier. Attendees will learn how to use AI for everyday tasks like writing content, organizing communication, and streamlining operations. The goal: save time, simplify workflows, and make more money.
15:45 - 16:30
AI for Growth. Marketing That Moves People w/ Justin Fortier
This one’s all about using AI to actually grow your business — not just make things faster. We’ll talk about how to use AI to understand your audience, plan smarter marketing, and keep your brand voice sounding like you. You’ll see how small businesses are using tools like ChatGPT, Canva, and a few underrated apps to create content, analyze what’s working, and stay consistent online without feeling robotic.
16:30 - 18:00
