Thank you to Albany for the enthusiasm that was in the room.
Momentum is building in SWGA… and Saturday made it real. 🚀 The room was filled with energy, curiosity, and people serious about growing their businesses. Entrepreneurs didn’t just sit in, they engaged, asked questions, and walked away with practical ways to start using AI immediately. 🙌🏾 From live demos to real conversations, everything was focused on making AI simple, useful, and accessible. Big thanks to our speakers and panelists Jonathan Exume, Mark Lawson, Stephanie L. Johnson, Jud Savelle, and Andre Thompson, Sr. for showing what’s possible and breaking it down in a way that connected. AI UNLOCKED wasn’t just another event, it created clarity, sparked new ideas, and gave people the confidence to take action. SWGA is stepping into something new… and we’re only getting started. 💡✨ Presented by Technologists of Color and powered by Georgia AIM & Russell Innovation Center for Entrepreneurs, this was all about equipping and empowering entrepreneurs to move forward with clarity and confidence. #AIUnlocked
