The featured presentation will focus on how small and mid-sized businesses can start using AI in meaningful, low-risk ways. Our speakers will break down:

  • Opportunities to use AI for lead generation, website responsiveness, client communication, and workflow efficiency

  • What businesses should consider before adopting AI tools, including readiness, governance, and risk

  • Key topics such as appropriate use cases, safe vs. sensitive data, “shadow AI,” acceptable use policies, and vendor/access consideration

To bring it all together, the session will feature a live demo designed to show how this works in practice:

  • See how AI can be used to improve your website’s SEO and attract more inbound leads

  • Watch a real workflow in action, from idea to execution

  • Help shape the demo in real time based on your business goals and questions

As always, the morning will include plenty of time to connect with fellow business owners, professionals, and community members.

SPECIAL OFFER: Future Members who attend this event can join the Chamber and pay just $99 for your first year of membership.  Sign up by the end of the month.

Meet our presenters:

Kris Scheufele is the founder of NJ Business AI, a Bergen County-based AI automation and digital marketing consultancy helping small businesses in the NJ/NY metro area implement practical AI solutions that save time and drive growth. Located in Wyckoff, Kris has delivered AI programs at libraries, chamber events, and conferences — making complex technology accessible and actionable for local business owners.

Elina Greenstein is President of CMIT Solutions of Hackensack | Bergen North, focused on the structure behind how growing businesses scale securely. Many organizations are fighting with their technology every day, and what looks like a tech problem is usually a lack of operational structure and security behind the scenes. As AI becomes part of everyday workflows, that foundation allows teams to adopt it confidently, protect sensitive data, and turn new tools into reliable ways of working, delivered through managed IT, cybersecurity, and compliance support.
