AI Fundamentals for Community Building (w/ The AI Collective)

AI Fundamentals for Community Builders

Wed., Sep. 9, 2026, 5:30pm-8:30pm
Improving - Alpharetta, GA

You already know AI could take work off your plate. This Wednesday, you find out exactly how, hands on your own laptop.

This is a free, hands-on workshop built for community builders. The community builders who use AI well are already pulling ahead. They spend less time on content creation burnout and more time on what actually moves the work forward. This session bridges that gap. You leave with tools you can use tomorrow and a personal AI setup that is yours to keep.
