Amazing!!! Tonight we partnered with .center to host an AI workshop for veteran entrepreneurs.

The team from the did a fantastic job walking us through a better and more efficient way to utilize AI as you start building your organization. One of the challenges presented at the last NATCON was how are we preparing our Military-Connected students for an AI driven economy. This was a great first step. I was impressed by the material and had my eyes opened to the possibilities of AI.

Lots of great learning for the over 20 students in attendance this evening. Definitely will try to get more of these in the future.

Big thanks to the VEI team for their support and hosting us at the NEC.
