SMB Events
Nothing here starts from a product roadmap. Every event exists to identify the real work small businesses do, prove AI-assisted versions of it with real owners, and train the people who will carry it forward. Come with a workflow; leave with it working.
Upcoming Events
Skills That Work the Way You Do
A skill is a repeatable job you teach AI once and use forever. We show the ones other owners are already using, where they came from, and how to set one up for the thing you do every single week.
What Could an Agent Do for You Tomorrow?
Not someday. Tomorrow. We walk through what an AI agent actually does for a real business: booking, quotes, answering the phone that never stops ringing. Then we help you spot the one job in your week worth handing off first.
Build Your First Agent in One Hour
A build session, not a lecture. We work through a real workflow together, and you leave with a working agent for your own business. Planned as a joint session with local chambers of commerce, in the room and streamed for everyone else.
SMB Workforce Development Discovery Session
As part of the Massachusetts AI Skills Guide Initiative, we are convening a discovery session with people who work closely with small businesses: trainers, chamber and SBDC staff, workforce development leaders, engineers, and other ecosystem partners.
AI is evolving rapidly, but small businesses are adopting it at very different speeds. To build effective workforce programs, training, and support, we need a clearer understanding of what business owners are actually experiencing. Together we will map who is adopting AI and who is being left behind, where owners get stuck, the barriers they raise, the tools gaining traction, and the training and support that actually move owners forward.
Convened by the Massachusetts AI Skills Guide Initiative, with assistance from the Foundation for Agentic Networks.
