SUMMARY:AI for Small Businesses in Government Contracting
DESCRIPTION:Learn how to use AI to research agencies\, analyze solicitations\, strengthen bids\, and save time pursuing government contracts. \n\n\n\n\nGovernment contracting takes time. Between researching agencies\, reviewing lengthy solicitations\, preparing capability statements\, tracking requirements\, and writing proposals\, small business owners can quickly find themselves wearing every hat. \nAI can help. \nJoin Supply SA for a practical workshop showing small business owners how to use tools like Claude to make government contracting research and bid preparation faster and more manageable. \nThis is not an AI theory class. We’ll work through practical examples and live demonstrations using real government contracting workflows. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nDuring the workshop\, you’ll learn how to use AI to: \n\nResearch local government agencies and identify which ones may purchase your products or services\nFind agency budgets\, previous contract awards\, procurement forecasts\, prime contractors\, and other useful market intelligence\nBuild or improve your capability statement\nUpload and analyze a real RFQ/RFP\nQuickly identify scope\, deadlines\, eligibility requirements\, and potential dealbreakers\nCreate a bid compliance and disqualification checklist to catch missing forms\, signatures\, insurance requirements\, addenda\, and other submission requirements\nBuild a reusable past-performance library for future proposals\nReduce repetitive research\, drafting\, and administrative work\nUnderstand what information you should—and should not—put into public AI tools\n\nWho Should Attend?\nThis workshop is designed for small business owners\, entrepreneurs\, and contractors interested in pursuing local government contracts. \nWhether you’re just getting started or already reviewing and responding to solicitations\, you’ll leave with practical workflows you can begin using immediately. \nNo AI experience is required. \nWhat You’ll Take Away\nYou’ll receive practical prompts and strategies you can reuse with your own business\, including ways to turn a lengthy government solicitation into actionable information much faster. \nYou’ll also learn the limits of AI and why it should be used as an assistant—not a replacement for your expertise or your own review of solicitation requirements

SUMMARY:Your Website Has 17 Blind Spots
DESCRIPTION:Join us to watch all 17 get diagnosed on a live website\, then fixed with AI in real time. \n\n\n\n\nMost website build advice covers the surface\, a clean template\, decent copy\, a few keywords\, but skips what actually decides whether someone trusts you enough to buy. I’ll diagnose a real website live using my 17-point Site Scorecard\, then walk you through diagnosing your own on the spot. By the end\, you’ll know exactly what’s broken and how to rebuild it yourself using modern AI website-building tools\, no code and no developer required. \nEvent Details\nDate: October 28th\, 2026 \nTime: 11:00am-12:30pm\nLocation: Launch SA\, 600 Soledad st\, San Antonio TX 78205 \nFree 3hr Parking \nSpeaker Bio: Cynthia Marshall is a Digital Business Architect based in San Antonio\, helping small business owners build websites that actually drive results\, not just look good. Before founding her own practice\, she spent over 20 years in financial services\, HR consulting\, and EdTech partnerships\, work that taught her how to diagnose what’s actually broken in a business and fix it. Today she combines AI-powered website audits with hands-on\, no-code rebuilds\, so business owners can finally get out of expensive developer relationships and take control of their own digital presence. She’s also the founder of Freedom After 40\, a coaching platform helping women over 40 build lives of purpose and freedom on their own terms. Cynthia holds an Executive MBA from UTSA.
