Stop Chasing Tools...Start Winning with AI

🤖 STOP CHASING TOOLS. START WINNING WITH AI.

Business owners. Entrepreneurs. Small business dreamers. This one is for you. 👏

AI is changing the way we work — but here’s the thing: you don’t need 47 different apps, a computer science degree, or a subscription to every new AI tool that hits the market.

You need to know how to use AI strategically to help your business save time, work smarter, reach more customers, create better content, streamline everyday tasks, and ultimately grow.

Join us at the Chamber for “Stop Chasing Tools, Start Winning with AI,” presented by E.C. Umberger, for a practical look at how business owners and entrepreneurs can put AI to work in the real world.

This isn’t about chasing the latest shiny AI tool. It’s about learning how to think differently, work smarter, and use AI as a resource to help move your business forward.

Whether you’re already experimenting with AI or you’re still wondering what the heck everyone is talking about, you’ll leave with ideas you can actually use.

Attention Owners!

The North Texas SBDC Network is partnering with the Federal Reserve Bank on a Small Business Credit Survey. Your input is very important to help shape future programming for small businesses in Texas.

Your answers will serve to provide meaningful feedback to small business advocates to determine programming to better assist you in your business needs. Your responses are anonymous and will aid business service providers and lenders in understanding real-time business conditions.

This short survey takes approximately 10 minutes to complete, and should you provide your email, you will receive the aggregate report for the state of Texas. The deadline to respond is November 13, 2026.
