The future of business is here, and it starts with learning how to work smarter with artificial intelligence.
The Gilbert Chamber Foundation recently hosted its first Business B(AI)sics AI Workshop, marking an exciting milestone in helping local businesses embrace the opportunities AI brings to the workplace. This workshop was made possible through funding from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation grant, awarded to support the Foundation's Business B(AI)sics initiative. The program is designed to equip business leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals with practical AI knowledge they can apply immediately.
Leading the inaugural workshop was trainer Anthony Emeka, who guided participants through an engaging and interactive learning experience focused on understanding AI, exploring real-world applications, and discovering ways to improve productivity and innovation.
Throughout the session, attendees gained valuable insights into how AI can support daily business operations, strengthen customer engagement, streamline workflows, and enhance decision-making. The workshop emphasized practical, accessible strategies that businesses of all sizes can begin using today.
What made the event especially impactful was the enthusiasm in the room. Participants asked thoughtful questions, shared ideas, and explored how AI can help them stay competitive in an increasingly digital economy. Whether attendees were completely new to AI or already experimenting with tools, there was something valuable for everyone.
The Gilbert Chamber Foundation is committed to creating opportunities that help businesses prepare for the future, and this workshop represents an important step in building AI literacy throughout our business community. By bringing expert training and resources directly to local professionals, the Foundation continues to invest in the growth, resilience, and success of Gilbert-area businesses.
A special thank you goes to Anthony Emeka for sharing his expertise and helping participants navigate the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence. We also extend our gratitude to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation for providing the grant funding that made this important educational opportunity possible.
If you missed this first session, don't worry.
This is just the beginning. The Business B(AI)sics series will continue to bring valuable AI education and hands-on learning experiences to our business community.
