Artificial intelligence is changing how businesses operate—and this summit is designed to help you make sense of it and start using it right away. Hosted by the Warren County Chambers, this virtual event brings together expert insights and real-world applications to help you work smarter, not harder.

Featuring sessions from Dr. Aaron Santos of Simpson College and Chris Snider of Drake University School of Journalism & Mass Communication, you’ll gain a clear understanding of what AI is, how it works, and what it can realistically do for your business—before diving into how to actually use it.

From writing better prompts that get results the first time, to creating graphics, videos, and content without a design budget, to exploring tools that can streamline your day-to-day operations, this summit is built to move you from curiosity to confidence. You’ll walk away with practical strategies, real-world examples, and tools you can start using immediately.
