Austin Tech Week: AI Made Practical for Small Businesses

AI Made Practical for Small Businesses Every small business owner has heard the same warning: adopt AI or get left behind. But nobody's telling you where to actually start. You don't need to become an AI expert. You need a clear next step, and a group of people who've already found theirs. That's what this day is built for. The Foundation for Better Business and Agentic Commerce Advisory are bringing Austin's small business community together for one working day of practical AI adoption, hosted as the Small Business Track of Austin Tech Week 2026. No jargon. No hype. Just real answers to the questions you're actually asking: What does AI actually mean for my business? Where should I start? Which tools are worth using? How can AI help me attract more customers? How can AI save me time every week? What should I do first? Hear from leaders at Google, Amazon, Accenture, and more. Sit in on hands-on workshops built around real business workflows. Bring your questions to small-group roundtables with experts across seven practical AI topics. And leave with something no keynote alone can give you: a written 90-day action plan, built for your business, by the end of the day. Stay for the happy hour and keep the conversation going with the people in the room who are figuring this out right alongside you. You don't have to have it all figured out before you walk in. You just have to walk in. Register now.
