IC: Hands-On AI Workshop: Solve Real Business Challenges Using AI | Innovation Council

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept—it is a competitive advantage for businesses that know how to use it effectively.

Join Zeb Welborn, President & CEO of the Chino Valley Chamber of Commerce, for a hands-on, practical AI Workshop and Roundtable designed for business owners, executives, and decision-makers who want to apply AI immediately to real business challenges.

This is not a lecture. This is a working session.

Participants will actively use AI and ChatGPT in small, collaborative groups to:

• Solve real operational, marketing, sales, and productivity challenges

• Brainstorm smarter strategies and workflows

• Learn how to prompt, refine, and apply AI tools effectively

• Identify practical ways AI can save time, reduce costs, and drive business growth

The workshop will include guided instruction followed by structured, hands-on group work where participants apply AI directly to their own business needs. Attendees should bring a laptop, as this session is built around real-time use, experimentation, and collaboration.

This format is intentionally designed to bring people together, build trust, and create meaningful professional relationships by working on each other’s businesses through shared problem-solving.

In addition to the hands-on training, participants will have opportunities to:

• Share what they do and highlight their business

• Exchange ideas with peers facing similar challenges

• Build meaningful connections in a collaborative setting

Please note: No food will be provided for this event.

Whether you are new to AI or looking to use it more strategically, you will leave with practical takeaways you can implement immediately, increased confidence using AI tools, and clear next steps to integrate AI into your business.

Seating is limited to maintain an interactive, high-value experience. Register early to secure your spot.
