AI & The Culture IRL | FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BUSINESS

🎉 AI & The Culture Is Back — In Person at Salesforce

We're back for another edition of AI & The Culture IRL in partnership with Salesforce. This is yet another incredible in-person gathering, hosted at the Salesforce offices in New York City and sponsored by Boldforce.

This Month We Present...

FUTURE-PROOF YOUR BUSINESS

A Founder Working Session on AI, Opportunity & What's Next

AI is changing how businesses operate, compete, and grow.

For entrepreneurs, the challenge isn't just keeping up with the technology—it's figuring out where the opportunities are and how to adapt.

This session is designed to bring founders, freelancers, creators, consultants, and business owners together for a collaborative conversation about what they're seeing, what's working, and where they believe the future is headed.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Part 1: The Conversation

We'll discuss:

How AI is impacting our businesses

What opportunities we're seeing emerge

What feels uncertain right now

What founders should be paying attention to

What's actually working in practice

Part 2: Founder Roundtables

Attendees will break into small groups to workshop:

business challenges

growth opportunities

new ideas

operational bottlenecks

AI use cases

customer acquisition strategies

The goal isn't to have all the answers.

The goal is to tap into the collective experience, expertise, and perspective in the room. And discover ways AI can help your business.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Founders

Entrepreneurs

Consultants

Creators

Freelancers

Small business owners

Anyone thinking about how to adapt, grow, and build in a rapidly changing landscape.

This gathering represents the next chapter of AI & The Culture — grounded in community, focused on real-world use, and centered on learning together in the room.

Pull up with curiosity. Let's have the important conversations.

Let’s build — together. 💛
