Pace University SBDC Business Advisors Joe Peterson and Pedro Soto recently attended a full-day AI Training session as part of the America’s SBDC Annual Conference. This event brought together experts and SBDC advisors from across the country to explore the latest developments in artificial intelligence and its applications for small businesses.

During the training, the Pace SBDC team learned valuable insights on how AI can help streamline operations, enhance marketing strategies, and improve customer engagement for small business clients. We are excited to integrate this knowledge into our advising services, helping our clients harness the power of AI to grow and thrive. For more information on how AI can benefit your business, connect with a Pace SBDC advisor today.
