  AI for Small Business: 10 Tools You Can Use Tomorrow Presented By: Sam Leary A hype-free session built to help Wisconsin small businesses put AI to work today, while also raising awareness about the dangers of these new technologies. We’ll walk through a handful of specific tools (not just ChatGPT) you can use to save time, get more customers, and do the work of a larger business. We'll cover what each tool does, where it fits into a small-business workflow, and how to get started without a tech background or a big budget. You'll also get an honest look at the questions Wisconsinites are correctly asking right now about cost, privacy, pollution, elected officials, and Big Tech’s impact on the Badger State. You'll walk away with: A working knowledge of practical AI tools, from everyday assistants like Claude to specialized tools built to automate research, outreach, marketing, and much more A clear sense of which tools make sense for you and your business, so that small business owners don’t pay for software they never use Simple, low-risk first steps to start using AI tomorrow without coding or a big budget requirement A grounded perspective on AI's real Pros and Cons for businesses right here in Wisconsin ​ About the Speaker: Sam Leary is Co-Owner and the Chief Revenue Officer of Marketini Media. He’s also the Head of Business Development for North & South America at ComplyAdvantage, a Series C software company that fights financial crime. He’s earned degrees from the University of Wisconsin and Johns Hopkins. His business, Marketini Media, is locally focused and has supported clients across more than two dozen Wisconsin counties since its establishment in 2022. As a 7th-generation Wisconsinite, Sam cares deeply about the people, communities, and businesses that make the Badger State great. As a result, while he’s optimistic about the value new technologies can offer Wisconsin businesses, he’s cautious about the potential negative impacts. ​Thank you to this Month's Sponsor:  Venue Partner:
