Small Business B(AI)sics

Curious how AI could actually help your small business — but not sure where to start? The Top of Virginia Regional Chamber has a free, hands-on answer, and it's launching this month. Janet Michael sits down with Missy Spielman, the Chamber's Director of Programs, and Taylor Coumes, the Chamber's brand-new Director of Events, for the Chamber's monthly segment. Missy previews Small Business B(AI)sics, a grant-funded national training initiative — backed by the US Chamber Foundation, the US Chamber of Commerce, and Google — designed to help local business owners figure out what AI can actually do for them, at no cost. Along the way, Janet and Missy reflect on this year's Arising Leadership Program graduates, Taylor introduces herself and her new role, and the two look ahead to Hob Nob in the Valley, Wings and Wheels, and the Chamber's upcoming international travel program. Tune in for the details on how to register — and why "you don't know what you don't know" when it comes to AI.
