Make Social Media Easier and More Effective with Our Monthly AI Lab Session

About this workshop

Creating social media content takes more than writing a post. Finding relevant ideas, developing headlines, planning campaigns, and keeping up with a regular posting schedule can take significant time and creative energy. This hands-on AI Lab gives you time to practice using AI tools to plan smarter, create content, and build a more manageable social media workflow.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Build an AI-powered mini-campaign for your business
  • Use AI tools to develop social media content and campaign ideas
  • Practice applying AI to your own social media workflow
  • Refine your approach with guidance and feedback from an experienced marketing expert

Who should attend

This lab is designed for small business owners and entrepreneurs who want practical experience using AI for social media marketing, whether you are just getting started with AI or looking to refine how you use it.

What you’ll walk away with

You’ll gain hands-on experience applying AI to your own campaign, along with feedback and guidance to help you use AI more effectively in your social media workflow. Bring your own AI access and be ready to practice using what you learn.

Before you attend

You will use your own AI access to create materials for your campaign. You need to bring your own computer or device to access the AI models of your choice. Make sure to set up an account to use during your exploration (a free account is fine).
