SUMMARY:Advising Small Businesses in the Age of AI Zoom
DESCRIPTION:This virtual workshop is designed for business advisors at economic development and entrepreneurship support organizations who are navigating how to support outdoor businesses with AI adoption. \n​AI is changing how entrepreneurs find information\, market their businesses\, make decisions\, and interact with customers.

Together\, they work closely with founders across a wide range of industries and stages of growth. \n​We’re passionate about helping entrepreneurs and the organizations that support them navigate change. Through this work\, we’re developing practical education that helps small business owners understand\, evaluate\, and adopt emerging technologies so they can continue to grow\, innovate\, and strengthen their communities.

SUMMARY:Making Your Products Go Viral: Basics of PLG (Nashville)
DESCRIPTION:The best products sell themselves. Not because of a slick sales team — because the product IS the growth engine. \n​That’s product-led growth. And if you’re building 0→1\, it might be the cheapest\, fastest way to find your first thousand users. \n​In this workshop\, we’ll break down the basics: \n\n​What PLG actually means (and when it’s NOT the right move)\n​The mechanics of building virality into your product\n​Real examples of products that grew without a sales motion\n​How to spot your own viral loop — and what to do once you find it

SUMMARY:AI for Manufacturing: Foundations & Applied Practice (Knoxville)
DESCRIPTION:AI for Manufacturing: Foundations & Applied Practice – August 6\, 2026 – Knoxville\, TN\n\nDate: August 6\, 2026\nTime: 8:00 AM – 12:00 PM EDT\n\nRegister Now\n\n\nEvent Description:\n\nA Practical\, Hands-On Introduction to AI Tools for Tennessee Manufacturers\nArtificial intelligence is no longer a future technology; it is already being used by manufacturers across Tennessee to improve productivity\, reduce administrative burden\, and solve problems faster. The challenge for most organizations is not whether to adopt AI\, but how to use it effectively\, consistently\, and with confidence. \nThis workshop provides a practical\, applied introduction to AI tools in a manufacturing context. It is designed for operations managers\, supervisors\, quality leads\, continuous improvement professionals\, and frontline leaders who want to understand what AI can realistically do for their facility. This is an entry-level course; no technical background\, no prior AI experience\, and no technology training of any kind is required. This is a working session built around manufacturing scenarios\, not a technology lecture. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nParticipants will move through the core skills needed to use AI tools effectively in a manufacturing environment. The workshop emphasizes practical application\, hands-on exercises\, and frameworks your team can take back and use the same day. \nYou will learn how to: \n\nUnderstand how generative AI works and why manufacturing executives are reporting measurable returns from it\nWrite effective prompts that produce reliable\, consistent\, and useful outputs\nAvoid the most common prompting mistakes that lead to wasted time and poor results\nApply a structured prompting framework to real manufacturing tasks including quality documentation\, shift reporting\, continuous improvement planning\, and supplier communication\nEvaluate AI outputs critically and maintain human judgment in the decision-making process\n\nThis workshop builds practical AI capability across your organization and gives teams a repeatable framework for identifying where AI adds value. \nWho Should Attend\nOperations managers\, plant managers\, supervisors\, quality leads\, continuous improvement professionals\, workforce development coordinators\, and any frontline leader responsible for productivity or team performance. This is a beginner-level course. No previous AI\, technology\, or computer science training of any kind is required.

SUMMARY:AI for Manufacturing: Applied Deep Dive (Knoxville)
DESCRIPTION:Date: August 6\, 2026\nTime: 1:00 PM – 5:00 PM EDT\n\nRegister Now\n\n\nEvent Description:\n\nFrom Awareness to Application — A Focused Half-Day on One High-Impact Manufacturing Topic\nUnderstanding AI is a starting point. Knowing how to apply it to a specific operational challenge is where the real value begins. This workshop takes a single\, high-impact manufacturing application and explores it in depth — from the problem it solves\, to how AI tools are configured for it\, to how teams implement and sustain it in a real facility environment. \nEach session focuses on a specific manufacturing application\, giving participants concentrated\, hands-on experience with AI in a context directly relevant to their operation. Sessions are designed to stand on their own; no prior attendance is required. \nHow Each Session Is Structured\nEvery Applied Deep Dive session follows the same format regardless of topic. Participants work through the application from the ground up: understanding the problem\, exploring how AI addresses it\, building the tools and prompts specific to that use case\, and testing outputs against real manufacturing scenarios. Sessions are hands-on throughout. You will leave with configured tools\, tested prompts\, and an implementation framework tailored to the session topic. \nWho Should Attend\nAnyone who has completed the AI for Manufacturing: Foundations session or who has working familiarity with AI tools and wants to go deeper on a specific application. Operations leads\, quality managers\, maintenance supervisors\, CI professionals\, and plant managers will find the most direct value
