Topic: Unlocking the Power of AI for Small Businesses
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way businesses operate and compete. It can be used to automate tasks, generate content, streamline operations, and help key employees make critical decisions. Whatever industry you are in, AI will affect how people work and live. While we don’t have all the answers, this talk will be a great way to start to understand what is possible and to plant some seeds on what you and your organization should be considering or be prepared for.
This talk will introduce the audience to the general capabilities of AI as it is currently being adopted by many businesses. We will discuss how AI is used in a variety of real-world scenarios and will utilize Microsoft Copilot 365 to demonstrate what is possible. The talk will address common concerns such as access, cost, pre-requisites, and security. We will also demonstrate how AI can be trained with company-specific information and data to provide significantly more value than what is available to the average consumer. Regardless of what your role is at your organization this talk will provide insight into the modern workplace and how AI is being used by your peers.

Join us for a one-hour information session at which we will highlight: who we are, what we do, benefits of membership and ways to maximize your investment of time and funds by utilizing opportunities offered by the Chamber to grow business and cultivate new business relationships. Led by Kelly and Bridget, the Fenton Chamber staff will run the session, providing a comprehensive overview of membership areas, including exclusive opportunities for members, recurring events, community involvement, professional development and more.
This is our monthly gathering of the Fenton Chamber Women's Group which serves as a platform for networking and leads-sharing, education and relationship building through various events and activities.
Let's Get Together... In Your Neighborhood! Meeting members & supporting businesses... one neighborhood at a time!
The Fenton Chamber is committed to meeting members where they are. Through the "In Your Neighborhood" program, we make it EASIER for our members to connect with Fenton Chamber staff and fellow members, as well as meeting fellow business owners near them that they may not meet at other events. With each of these IYN events, we select/target a "neighborhood" location by choosing a meeting place for breakfast/lunch/after hours. All are welcome to each IYN event, but we do make an effort to personally invite members (event non-members) within close distance of that location to attend.
No event fee; attendees pay their own way
