Innovate Springfield

AI doesn’t have to be complicated. It should make your business easier.

Join us for All the Lazy Ways to Be More Profitable with AI for Small Business, a 6-week, hands-on workshop at Innovate Springfield.

You don’t need a tech background. You don’t need to “be into AI.”You just need a business and something that could run more efficiently.

By the end of the program, you’ll have a real solution built and running in your business.

📅 Wednesdays, Feb 25 – April 1
⏰ 6–8 PM
📍 Innovate Springfield
