Beyond Chatbots: The AI Agent That Follows Up on Every Lead (Virtual)

Every business has the same quiet leak: leads come in, and the busy ones slip through before you get back to them — and they call someone else. This isn't a chatbot that waits on your website. It's an autonomous agent that works in the background, so the right leads get caught and followed up on without you lifting a finger. In this session we'll show you what's genuinely possible now, where it fits a real business, and what it would take to put it to work in yours. We'll be using Claude Code & Cowork, and it'll be demo-led — I'll show you how I do it. If you want to follow along, please install Claude Code beforehand. You'll see how these tools figure things out for you and go beyond chatbots and conversation-based interaction. Essentially, you'll be building your own autonomous agent. Wanna know more?

Government Grants for Small Businesses and Real Estate Investors!

Welcome to **Government Grants for Small Business and Real Estate Investors**. Join us on **Wednesday, July 8, 2026** for an informative session designed for small business owners, entrepreneurs, and real estate professionals who want to better understand available government grant opportunities. This paid event is **$10 per attendee** and will showcase **14 different grant programs** that may help support business growth, expansion, innovation, hiring, exporting, and investment-related activities. During the session, our expert will walk attendees through the different grant opportunities, explain how the application process generally works, and provide practical guidance on how to approach grant funding strategically. Whether you are starting a new venture, expanding an existing business, or exploring opportunities as a real estate professional, this event is designed to help you understand what may be available and how to prepare. It is important to note that many government grants are **not loans** and generally do not need to be repaid when properly approved and used according to program requirements. These programs are often created to support small businesses, encourage economic growth, promote innovation, and help companies expand into new markets. By attending, you will learn about funding opportunities that may help you grow without taking on traditional debt. Each attendee will also receive a comprehensive booklet containing the information presented during the session. This booklet is intended to serve as a practical reference tool after the event. Attendees may also receive access to sample grant application materials and supporting resources that can be used as a guide when preparing future applications. **Event Fee:** $10 per attendee **Date:** Wednesday, July 8, 2026 **Registration:** RSVP required **Seating:** Limited seating available **Agenda** **6:00pm – 6:15pm:** General Networking **6:15pm – 9:00pm:** Seminar by the Expert In addition to the presentations and resources, this event also provides an opportunity for business networking.
