AI in Business Cocktail Hour

Free Raffle: Live AI Efficiency Check-Up On Stage — $750 Value

See how one local business will be optimized in real time

AI is no longer a buzzword — it’s a business advantage.

Join us at the AI in Business Cocktail Hour, where you’ll learn exactly how companies are using automation and AI to reduce busywork, cut costs, and scale from $1M to $10M+—without adding headcount.

Hosted by Tray Branch, Army Veteran and Senior AI/ML Engineer at a Top 3 global consulting firm, this event combines real-world strategy, high-level networking, and a firsthand look at how AI is transforming local businesses.

What’s the AI Efficiency Check-Up?

It’s a 20-minute live optimization session where we walk through a real business and show how AI can:

  • Streamline repetitive workflows
  • Save time across operations, marketing, admin, and sales
  • Open up scalable growth opportunities
  • Highlight AI tools & workflows that plug into your existing systems

We’ll highlight the business’s strengths, suggest high-impact improvements, and show the audience what practical AI adoption really looks like.

Think of it as a free strategy, great exposure, and a huge value-add — live.

It’s collaborative, encouraging, and packed with takeaways for everyone in the room.

Who Should Attend?

  • Business owners & founders ready to scale smarter
  • Entrepreneurs curious about practical, real-world AI
  • Operators looking to save time, boost profit margins, and simplify systems
  • Professionals eager to connect with other forward-thinking leaders
