As technology continues to advance, small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) are often the ones left behind—not due to lack of ambition, but lack of access, time, and practical support. This half-day virtual workshop is designed to close that gap by giving Nova Scotia SMEs the knowledge, confidence, and tools they need to begin using AI in meaningful, cost-effective ways. This workshop is designed for small and medium-sized businesses, but anyone with an interest in learning more about AI is welcome to attend.
