Chicago AI Workshop for Leaders

Join IT Impact at the Microsoft Downers Grove office located at 3025 Highland Pkwy #300, Downers Grove, IL 60515 for an intensive, one-day workshop built for business executives, operations leaders, and business owners running legacy systems that keep their business running. We're moving past "chatting" with AI and into Vibe Coding, Process Automation, and Strategic ROI — the kind of practical AI adoption that fits any business, not just a tech company's. What you will learn Most AI seminars tell you what AI is. In this workshop, you'll open your laptop and actually build with it. • The PRD Framework: Learn the exact "Prompt, Role, Data" technique we use to consult for Fortune 500 companies and growing businesses alike. • Vibe Coding: Experience the shift from writing code to "coding by intent" — building tools that support production tracking, inventory, quality control, and reporting in minutes, not months. • Copilot for every Business: See how Microsoft Copilot can be put to work across your operations and in the back office — surfacing key business data, automating reports, and supporting decisions without a custom development project. Admission & Selection Criteria To maintain a high-value networking environment for local manufacturing and business leadership, this event is curated for: • Business Owners & Founders • Executives & Directors • Operations & IT Managers Note: This is a professional-only event. Students and general job seekers will not be admitted. Investment: $50 Commitment Fee. The fee is waived for verified local business owners and executives.
