AI in the Workplace: Productivity, Profitability & Leadership

Events, News

February 3, 2026 at 9:00 AM

A hands-on, full-day AI workshop for business leaders focused on productivity, profitability, and smarter leadership.

Kick off the new year with clarity, confidence, and practical tools you can actually use.

AI in the Workplace is a full-day, hands-on workshop designed for business owners, leaders, and teams who want to understand how AI fits into everyday work — without jargon, overwhelm, or technical complexity.

Whether you’re curious, cautious, or already experimenting, this session meets you where you are and shows you how to use AI in ways that genuinely support your business.

We’re bringing this training to Pictou County in partnership with Symplicity Designs, led by Matt Symes, one of Atlantic Canada’s most trusted business transformation leaders.

This workshop is hosted by the Pictou County Chamber of Commerce, with support from Ignite Atlantic.

What You’ll Learn

Throughout the day, you’ll explore how AI can support the core areas of your business:

  • Marketing — content creation, messaging, campaigns, social media
  • Sales — lead follow-up, proposals, CRM support
  • Operations — streamlining processes, reducing errors, saving time
  • HR — hiring, onboarding, policies, performance support
  • Leadership — decision-making, planning, communication, risk awareness

Each section includes:

  • Real-world examples
  • Practical AI prompts you can use immediately
  • Common pitfalls to avoid
  • Time for questions and discussion

No technical background required.
