Interested in exploring AI but unsure how to get started?

Join Russ Seagle, veteran AI trainer and CEO of Sequoyah Fund, for "What AI Can Really Do: A Hands-On Workshop for Native CDFIs"—an engaging and practical introduction to artificial intelligence designed specifically for Native CDFI professionals.

This workshop is designed to be highly practical and hands-on. Bring the tasks and projects you've been putting off because you haven't had the time, capacity, or staff resources to complete them. Throughout the training, you'll work directly with AI tools to make meaningful progress on real projects, allowing you to leave with:

  • Completed tasks
  • Fully developed programs
  • Ready-to-use documents
  • Customized resources and solutions tailored to your Native CDFI's needs

Why attend?

  • Learn what AI is—and what it isn't
  • Explore practical applications of AI within Native CDFIs
  • Compare popular AI tools and platforms
  • Watch AI in action through live demonstrations
  • Gain hands-on experience using AI to solve real-world challenges

Learn to use AI as a force multiplier, and you'll walk away with a computer full of finished work and more confidence in using AI back at the office.

 

Cost: $300
