What It Is
Forget panic and hype. This session gives you the mental models to think with AI, not just use it. We’ll walk through clear examples, short demos, and live Q&A so you know what AI is good at, where it fails, and how to collaborate with it starting tomorrow.
Why It Matters
Tools change every week. Your thinking is the leverage. Pros who adopt co-creation habits are reclaiming 5–10 hours a week and making cleaner decisions. We’ll help you spot those hours in your workflow and redeploy them to real work—strategy, creativity, impact.
What You’ll Experience

  • 90 minutes of practical frameworks + quick demos + open Q&A

  • Guided exercises to shift from “prompting tools” to “partnering with AI”

     

  • Small-group practice with local Santa Barbara professionals

  • A clear, confident path to put AI to work immediately

What You'll Take Away

  • AI Opportunity Audit (identify 5+ hours you can win back this week)

  • A simple next-steps worksheet

  • Starter prompts and lightweight workflows

  • Confidence to apply this the very next day

What You'll Do Tomorrow

  • Open your Opportunity Audit and pick the #1 time sink

  • Choose one free/low-cost tool from our list

  • Launch a basic “assistant” in ~10 minutes

  • Use our conversation starters (skip the blank-page freeze)

  • Block 30 minutes for practice—treat it like the gym

The Flow
5:00 PM – Curated Networking and refreshments
6:00 PM – Session Kickoff
7:30 PM – Program Wrap
Who Should Attend
Founders, executives, creators, operators—and anyone ready to move beyond theory and start co-creating with AI in day-to-day work.
