SUMMARY:Activate AI: Spring Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:Artificial intelligence is reshaping how small businesses operate—streamlining processes\, improving customer experiences\, and unlocking new levels of productivity. \nYet for many smaller firms\, AI still feels overwhelming\, risky\, or difficult to implement. \nThis three‑part workshop series\, led by a team from New Haven-based creative agency Digital Surgeons\, is designed to remove that complexity. \nAnd\, to make it easier to dive in\, register for any two sessions in this three-part workshop series and get the third free when you sign up before April 14. \nWorkshop 1 | 4.14.26 | 1-3 pm | Where AI Actually Creates Value in Your Business  \nThis session introduces you to AI for small business use\, showing you where the technology can deliver the most measurable improvements for day-to-day operations. Learn which problems AI is best suited to solve\, see real use case examples\, and identify high‑value opportunities using a simple assessment framework. \nWorkshop 2 | 5.12.26 | 1-3 pm | Implementing AI Safely\, Legally\, Cost-Effectively  \nAI adoption is accelerating—but so are the risks. This session equips small businesses with clarity and confidence to implement AI responsibly. From basic data hygiene to safe‑use guidelines\, learn how to put the right foundations in place early. \nWorkshop 3 | 6.9.26 | 1-3 pm | Leading the AI Transition Inside Your Company  \nAI success depends on people\, not just technology. This session equips small businesses with the tools to communicate changes effectively\, reduce employee resistance or fear\, build trust\, and foster a learning‑oriented culture. Participants learn how to align AI initiatives with strategic goals and maintain momentum over time.
