Bowie Boost returns to explore AI for small business
Looking for an opportunity to learn? Bowie Economic Development is welcoming back Steve “ROI” Brown for an exciting Bowie Business Boost breakfast workshop starting at 7:30 a.m. on March 17 in the Bowie Community Center East Hall.
You don’t have to be green about your business with the best AI advice around from Brown that will leave a spring in your step because you will see how AI can act like an affordable “in-house team” for your business. This breakfast workshop will help you learn how to create marketing that looks polished, deliver customer service that feels fast and professional, and boost customer satisfaction and engagement.
It is about marketing strategies and tools to work the same day, so you walk out confidently and ready to communicate clearly, follow up faster, and run your business better immediately.
This is the first of four dynamic workshops hosted by the Bowie 4B EDC Team and coordinated by Acceleration by Design. Registration is $40 for all four sessions and is transferable.
So, mark your calendars for March 17, March 31, April 14 and April 28. Breakfast begins at 7:30 a.m. followed by the program at 8 a.m. Other presenters are Marci Goodwin – small business doesn’t mean small ideas; Katie Milton Jordon with a new AI approach to business acceleration and Lorie Vincent with 20 ways to enhance your small business brand.
