AI Immersion Bootcamp

You bought a tool you barely use. You've tried a few prompts and shrugged. You know AI matters but you're not sure where it fits your business. This workshop is built for that. The Carlsen Center and Averro are teaming up for two hands-on hours with the AI tools that matter. You'll work in small groups with expert facilitators in the room, build with the tools using real business scenarios, and see what AI can do well past writing your emails. What you'll do Explore. Get oriented in the AI landscape: which tools matter, what each is good at, and how they fit a business like yours. Immerse. Go hands-on with the tools in small groups. Learn to prompt, guide, and trust them so AI becomes useful rather than frustrating. Apply. Map AI to your own business and leave with a clear, prioritized plan for where to put it to work.
