HARNESS THE POWER OF AI:
SO THAT YOU TRANSFORM FROM CURIOUS TO CONFIDENT AND LEVERAGE IT TO MAKE MORE MONEY
JOIN US VIRTUALLY
SEPTEMBER 28th - 30th 2023
Join us for an amazing 3-day retreat where we’ll show you how to use AI to make your business soar to new heights!
In February, Elizabeth, the visionary behind Ratliff Consulting and the SPARK AI Lab Dream It/ Build It retreat, took part in the Gen AI conference in San Francisco. Two glaring issues stood out. First, the lack of diversity in AI tool usage—there's a pressing need for more representation across gender, ethnicity, and age groups. Second, a widespread knowledge gap exists on how to truly leverage these powerful AI tools to boost business performance and profitability.
That's why our mission is more crucial than ever. We're here to champion diversity in AI, to educate you on its transformative power, when used the RIGHT way and to seamlessly integrate AI into your business operations.
The end game? Freeing up your time to focus on what really matters—strategic planning, in-depth research, thorough assessments, and of course, quality moments with family and friends. Because life's too short to be bogged down by inefficiencies.
Join Elizabeth and a room of AI Experts as they educate you on the strategy and the implementation that will have you using AI like a professional.
