Teach at the Exchange.

The best AI Exchange sessions pick one topic, show it working, and send the room home with one thing to try Monday morning.

The room and the slot

• Noon, about an hour and a half. Most speakers give the same session twice: Tuesday at Biltmore, Wednesday at Chandler.
• Who comes. Small business owners and operators, from their first ChatGPT question to building agents. Nobody in the room is behind.
• The room watches and talks. Nobody follows along on a laptop. Building belongs to the workshops.
• Builders have their own night. The deepest technical material fits AI Exchange After Hours, Wednesdays 4:30 to 6 PM at Biltmore, for the people building with AI.
• Everything is recorded. Your replay, deck and prompts go to the Workuity AI Exchange Vault, and the best moments become clips.

Every session, every level

Whatever your theme, show it three ways inside your demonstration. Nobody is lost at the start, and the builders stay to the end:

1. The everyday way. Claude or ChatGPT in the browser: tools anyone can open today.
2. The working way. Claude, or Claude Cowork on the desktop handling the files and steps.
3. The agentic way. A setup that runs on a schedule or a trigger, with you approving the result.

And every session is better with some technical work on screen.

Three shapes that work

Every good session has one overarching topic and follows a simple arc. These are examples, not a menu: if you have a better shape, pitch it.

What makes a session land

• One topic. Everything in the hour serves it.
• Show, don't lecture. Less slide, more screen.
• Bring the tools in. New ones are welcome if they serve the topic.
• Make it a conversation. Ask the room early; leave real time at the end.
• Start where the newest person is. Nobody is behind. Explain the first step, then climb.
• Give AI a job. Real work in a real business, not trivia.
• End on Monday morning. One thing someone can do tomorrow.
• Share your prompts word for word. They go to the Vault as copy-ready cards.
• Slides carry headlines. Each a complete thought, not the script.
• Have a backup for every live demo. A recording or screenshots.
• Teach, don't sell. Your Council page carries your services.

Your session proposal: 13 questions

If one is hard to answer, the session isn't ready yet.

1. Working title. Name what people will be able to do.
2. Monday morning. In one sentence, what will someone do differently tomorrow?
3. Who it's for. Everyone at noon, owners new to AI, or builders at After Hours?
4. Shape. One of the three, or your own?
5. The one topic or task.
6. The arc. What you show in each act, and the tool for it.
7. Tools. Every tool you'll show, and which ones cost money.
8. Live demos. What runs live, and the backup for each.
9. Prompts. The ones you'll share, word for word.
10. Short description. One or two sentences naming what it covers, for the listing cards.
11. Bio and headshot. Two or three sentences, and a photo we can use.
12. Dates. The ones you request here.
13. Recording. OK to publish the replay, deck, prompts and clips?

What we need from you, and when

• Three weeks out: title, short description, bio and headshot, for the listing, event cards and posts.
• One week out: your deck (a link or PDF of the version you'll present) and your prompts.
• The day of: arrive 20 minutes early with your laptop, so we can test the screen and microphone.
• After: nothing. We send you the replay link and your clips to share.

A great workshop is four hours in which every person builds something real on their own accounts and leaves knowing how to run it on Monday. A session shows it. A workshop builds it.

Because people pay and give up an afternoon, the bar is higher: a clear promise, a clear outcome and no wasted minutes.

Titles that fill the room

• Name the result in five to eight words, then one line on what people will have built.
• Start with a verb and a result: Find, Build, Answer, Turn, Set up.
• One promise per title. Clarity beats cleverness.
• Name the tool only when it's the draw.
• Example: Find Your Next Customers with AI (Yaseen Arshad, November 6 at Biltmore).

Before the day

• Exact accounts and plan levels, like “a paid Claude plan (Pro or above)”.
• The skill level, plainly: “You've asked ChatGPT a few questions.”
• Real material, anonymized: one offer, an inquiry, a quote template.
• Your setup checklist. You write it; we send it a week ahead.
• The data rule: nothing client-confidential unless anonymized.
• Laptop and charger. Everyone builds on their own machine.

Every attendee walks out with

• One thing built and working, on their own account, with their own material.
• The prompts, word for word, as a prompt pack they can reuse.
• A written how-to, enough to run it again without you in the room.
• Named templates, each named on the listing, like “Inquiry-to-sale process”.
• The next three uses, where the same setup pays off next.
• Simple safe-use rules: what AI does alone, what it drafts for approval, what stays with them.

Running the four hours

At least two hours with hands on keyboards. With 16 people, plan a second person on the floor.

Your workshop proposal: 16 questions

1. Title. Verb plus result.
2. Outcome line. What they'll have built.
3. Hook. The problem, in the owner's words.
4. Who it's for, and who it isn't.
5. Length. Four hours, or eight in two parts?
6. What we'll cover. Five to seven items.
7. You'll leave with. Named deliverables.
8. Prerequisites. Accounts, plans, admin rights.
9. What to bring. Real material, anonymized.
10. Setup checklist. Steps before the day.
11. Agenda. Timed blocks.
12. Prompts and materials. Paste or attach them.
13. About you. Bio, credentials, headshot.
14. Dates. Which dates and location?
15. Help on the floor. Your second person.
16. Qualifying. Counts as a member's monthly workshop unless marked.

We build your listing from your answers, and add the date, place, ticket price and the “$0 for Workuity and AI Exchange members” line.
