Show Me the WAI
The why, what, where and who of AI in an era of exponential change
A primer for business owners
AI is expanding what small and medium-sized businesses can accomplish, while raising important questions about trust, responsibility and value. Show Me the WAI gives business owners a clear foundation for making informed choices: why AI matters, what large language models and agents can do, where they fit into everyday work, and who remains accountable for their actions and results.
RSVP Here for Business Networking: The why, what, where of AI - Nov 10
The keynote encourages an abundance mindset: exploring how AI can help businesses serve more customers, support employees, test new ideas and recover time for work and relationships that matter. It also challenges assumptions about effortless automation, reliable answers and guaranteed returns. Through accessible explanations and practical business examples, participants learn how to assess opportunities, question ambitious claims and establish sensible guardrails.
Participants leave with reusable prompts, checklists for responsible adoption, and a 30-day pilot plan. The goal is to build the confidence and judgment to choose a useful application, test it thoughtfully and measure whether it improves the business.
