Myths & Practical Uses Of AI For Small Businesses

This workshop cuts through the noise around AI and small business. We'll bust the myths that keep owners on the sidelines — from "it's too expensive" to "I'm not technical enough" — and replace them with practical, low-cost ways small businesses are already using AI today: capturing missed leads, automating customer service, creating marketing content in minutes, streamlining bookings, and following up with prospects automatically.

Attendees will leave with a clear, jargon-free picture of where to start — no coding, no big budget required.

The Facilitator for this Workshop is Homi Syodia. Homi is the Founder and CEO of HMS Consulting, an AI automation and digital marketing agency based in Elgin, IL. With over 12 years of SAP/ERP Implementation experience with major corporations, he has trained and developed superusers across enterprise rollouts and has spoken extensively on technology adoption. Today, he brings that same speaking and training experience to help small, local businesses adopt practical, affordable AI solutions — no technical background required.
