AI & Mimosas: Flyers That Don't Look Like AI is where you build real marketing assets for your business, live and in the room.

Join ๐๐„๐—๐“ ๐–๐„๐„๐Š for an afternoon designed for entrepreneurs, small business owners, and creatives who want to actually create, not just listen.

Inspired by Paint and Sip, this experience trades the canvas for your brand, using free, accessible tools like Gemini and ChatGPT to bring your ideas to life.

โ€‹This year we're focused on one problem. Every AI flyer is starting to look the same, and so is every AI caption. You'll spend the evening building the opposite: a promotional flyer and the post that goes with it, made so they could only have come from you.

โ€‹โ€‹โœ”๏ธŽ Bring a laptop, one thing you need to promote, and a photo you took yourself.
