AI Is Here To Empower You: Small Business Survival Guide Workshop (at the San Mateo Public Library)

About this event

Discover how to harness the power of artificial intelligence without the stress at “AI Is Here To Empower You: A Small Business Survival Guide”! Taking place on Wednesday, October 7th from 5:30 PM to 7:00 PM at the San Mateo Public Library (Oak Room, 55 West 3rd Avenue), this free, interactive, purely educational workshop features featured speaker Michael Pessavento (Founder of PezTek Consulting & CEO of WellAware AI) alongside co-hosts Ed Diaz and Adam Chinn. Whether tech-savvy or simply curious, small business owners will learn practical tips to thrive in today’s digital landscape and boost business confidence. Light bites and non-alcoholic drinks will be served. Admission is completely free. From the organizer: “This talk is about what AI can actually do for a small business right now, not the hype version. We’ll go through the current model landscape — including the newest releases — and why most people don’t need the fanciest one. A few prompting basics, then the real payoff: building a reusable master prompt tied to an actual marketing campaign, so one prompt writes a social post and an email in the same voice, without re-explaining the business every time. Two live demos: a real contract reviewed on the spot, and the master prompt built live. Everyone leaves with a one-page cheat sheet — free tools, the prompting principles, a quick-start guide.” The DSMA calendar is intended to share the exciting events and promotions provided by our Downtown San Mateo businesses. We do our best to keep up with changes, but please always confirm details with the individual business.
