AI is everywhere right now, but for most small business owners, the real question is simple: what does it actually mean for their business?
Beyond the Hype: A Discussion on AI for Small Businesses is a live, in-person panel designed specifically for the Sioux Falls business community. This conversation moves past big tech narratives and focuses on how AI is showing up in real, practical ways for small businesses today.
This is not a technical deep dive or a sales pitch. It’s a clear, honest look at what’s working, what isn’t, and where AI can realistically support small business growth today.
Walk away with real, practical examples of how businesses like yours are using AI today.
What to Expect
- Expert Panel: A curated group of local business leaders, support networks, media, and tech-forward voices sharing how AI is being discussed and applied across the small business landscape.
- Practical Roadmap: Real-world case studies exploring how AI can help address common challenges like cash flow gaps and administrative burdens.
- Networking Opportunity: Time for local founders and business owners to connect directly with tech experts, media representatives, and peers across the Sioux Falls business community.
During the event, we’ll also recognize the winner of the 2026 Small Business Spotlight Contest, celebrating a local business making a meaningful impact. Submissions are due by April 15, 2026.
