Building Sustainable Nonprofits & Small Businesses in the Age of AI

Small nonprofits and small businesses are being asked to do more than ever — limited staff, limited funding, limited time. At the same time, new tools and technologies are changing how organizations operate, fundraise, and communicate.

This half-day, in-person expo is designed to help organizations learn how to use AI to strengthen capacity, increase efficiency, and gain the support of a full team without the expense of a full payroll.
