Agentic AI for Business Leaders: A Deep-Dive Workshop
3 hours that could change how you run your business
AI is no longer optional—it’s the new competitive edge. But the real question isn’t whether you use AI, it’s how effectively you use it. This interactive, hands-on workshop is designed for business owners and leaders who want to move beyond buzzwords and learn how agentic AI can transform how they work, decide, and grow.
Over the course of 3.5 hours (with lunch and breaks), you’ll explore how today’s most powerful AI tools—like ChatGPT and autonomous “agents”—can perform deep research, automate complex workflows, and uncover insights that would take a human team days to find. You’ll see live demos, work through real-world business challenges, and design your own agent workflows—no technical background required.

Matthew has been working with computers since before he could spell. Over the years, he's written code in more languages than he can count, led high-performing teams, turned around failing projects, and designed systems that scale cleanly instead of crashing under pressure. He has architected solutions for Fortune 50 companies, helped small businesses punch above their weight, and earned patents by rethinking how performance monitoring should actually work.
He is especially interested in AI and building agentic systems that do more than just spit out predictions.  He focuses on using AI to extend human capability, not replace it, and he advocates for alignment and ethics to be foundational, not bolted on after the fact. His strength is making complexity manageable. Whether that means reworking legacy systems, designing AI-powered workflows, or getting a team unstuck, he brings clarity, momentum, and calm.
He cares about people, process, and (above all) purpose and about building things that last.
