GKBA October 2026 Networking Power Breakfast Workshop

Kickstart your morning with networking, great coffee, and a continental breakfast to boost your connections and your day! Meet Your New AI Employee: Using Claude to Handle the Busywork Running a small business means wearing every hat, including the ones nobody wants (inbox management, reports, repetitive admin). This 60-minute hands-on workshop shows you how to use Claude, Anthropic's AI assistant, to take those tasks off your plate. Through live demos and real small-business examples, you'll see how to triage email automatically, delegate recurring work to an AI agent, and set up a "business brain" that remembers your context, so you're not re-explaining yourself every time. No technical background required; just bring a task you're tired of doing manually.
