// AI for Business Meetups
A free evening for local business owners who want to use AI to save time, improve margins, and get more done. Hamilton and Oakville, once a month. Hosted by Patricia & Greg Kowalczyk — a father-and-daughter team running consumer brands for over a decade.
AI for Business — Hamilton
· 5:30 – 7:30 PM
// How the evening runs
- 5:30 Doors open, coffee, and open networking
- 6:00 Practical AI presentation with live, real-world examples
- 6:30 Q&A — bring the thing you are stuck on
- 6:45 Structured networking: one AI challenge each, around the room
- 7:20 Wrap up
Bring one thing you would hand off to AI tomorrow if you knew how. That is the whole price of admission.
Come if
- → You run a small or mid-size business and keep hearing you "should be using AI".
- → You have tried ChatGPT, got something useful once, and never built it into how you work.
- → You want to see what other local owners are actually doing with it — not a vendor demo.
- → You are curious where AI saves real hours in marketing, admin, or customer service.
What it isn't
- × Not a technical workshop. Nothing to install, no code, no prerequisites.
- × Not a sales pitch. Nobody is closing you in the room.
- × Not a webinar. It is people, in a room, in your city.
// Coming up
The meetup runs monthly and rotates between Hamilton and Oakville, so there is one within a short drive whichever side of the GTA's west end you are on.
