AI is moving fast, and for many business owners, it can be hard to tell what is actually useful and what is just noise. In AI for Local Business Growth: 3 Workflows That Drive Revenue, Dana Plazyk brings the conversation down to earth by focusing on practical ways local businesses can use AI right now to support real growth.
This session will explore how to turn everyday expertise into stronger marketing, improve lead follow-up and customer communication, and save time on repetitive tasks so owners can focus more on relationships, service, and revenue-generating work. Grounded in real business life, the presentation is approachable, hands-on, and built for people who want AI to feel helpful, not overwhelming.
