One-day AI workshop for business owners set for Oct. 22 in Innisfail

Sep 24, 2026 | 10:30 AM

Central Alberta First invites business owners to its “AI at Work” workshop.

The one-day workshop will take place on Thursday, Oct. 22, at the Innisfail Public Library Community Room.

“The event is designed for busy business owners, managers, entrepreneurs, nonprofit leaders, and community organizations that want practical guidance on how artificial intelligence is already showing up in day-to-day operations,” they wrote in a media release.

“AI may already be present through email tools, scheduling software, marketing platforms, customer communication, hiring tools, meeting summaries, or staff use of ChatGPT and other platforms. For many businesses, the issue is no longer whether AI is coming. It is already here.”

This workshop will help participants identify where AI is being used, understand risks related to data, bias, licensing, accountability, and staff use, and develop a simple 30-day action plan they can take back to their business.

The day will include a hands-on workshop led by Theresa Lynn of Clarity at Work, a local business owner panel, facilitated roundtable discussions, lunch, a participant workbook, and follow-up resources.

Those hoping to attend will need to register ahead of time, and will cost $50 per person. Register at eventbrite.ca.
