About

AI is everywhere, but if you run a small business, what actually works? Join a room full of business owners for an honest conversation about the AI tools that are saving them time, the ones that flopped, and the problems nobody's solved yet. This isn't a keynote. It's not a "listening" event. It's a roundtable where real business owners share what they're actually using day to day: from handling customer calls and messages, to scheduling, marketing, follow-ups, and the admin that eats your week. What we'll cover: Keeping up with customer calls and messages when you're busy Scheduling and admin that takes hours out of your day Marketing without a marketing team Following up with leads before they go cold What's worth paying for vs. what's free and good enough By the end, we'll compile a shared list of every AI tool the room recommends, sourced from the people who actually use them, not a sponsored listicle. Who this is for: Small business owners, solopreneurs, freelancers, and operators across any industry. No technical background needed. If you run a business and you're curious about AI, you belong in this room. Seats are limited to keep the conversation real. Tech Week is a citywide celebration of the people building what's next. From May 25–29, 2026, founders, investors, and builders come together for hundreds of community-led events across Toronto, connecting tens of thousands of people around Canadian tech.
