🤖 12 dynamite sessions. One mission: Helping small businesses confidently embrace AI.
What an incredible day at the NJSBDC AI for Small Business Conference 2026 at Middlesex College! We were honored to present three interactive sessions focused on helping entrepreneurs move beyond the AI hype and start putting it to work in practical, meaningful ways.
💡 Cora Park, CEO of Diamond Business Communications, presented "The AI Challenge Facing Your Business: AI Adoption – Crawl, Walk, Run," sharing a practical roadmap for adopting AI strategically, securely, and at a pace that makes sense for every organization.
✍️ Erin Bogdan, led two hands-on marketing workshops, demonstrating how AI can help businesses build a brand from scratch and create content faster, building a month's worth of social media in just one afternoon.
The conversations throughout the day were dynamic, the live demos sparked countless "aha!" moments, and the excitement in the room made one thing clear: AI is no longer a future conversation—it's a business conversation happening right now.
A heartfelt thank you to Lilian Mauro, New Jersey Small Business Development Center and Middlesex College for organizing and hosting, and everyone who attended, asked thoughtful questions, and shared their own AI journeys. It was inspiring to see so many business owners eager to learn how AI can help them work smarter, grow faster, and compete bigger.
We're grateful to have been part of the inaugural conference and can't wait to continue helping New Jersey's small business community unlock the power of AI. 🚀
Stay tuned for the next one happening in Mercer County!
