This year's Vancouver Island summit shows business owners how to put automation, AI and the right tools to work. The aim is to save time, grow revenue and scale, and no tech background is required. Megan Johnston, a PMP and Professional Scrum Master with 20 years in project management, and Lara Kehler give the keynotes. Rachel Krayenhoff, a staple on the Victoria AI talk circuit, speaks too, along with Jessica Glowacki of EH!, the Canadian-built social platform. Ticket sales support scholarships for women in business across Canada. Since there's a cocktail reception that night, stick around for the breakfast PARO runs the next morning at the resort. It's a free working session on selling into other provinces, starting at 11 a.m. on November 7, and you add it at checkout.
Who's in the room: Women entrepreneurs and small business owners from the Comox Valley and across Vancouver Island.
Anu's Take
An AI conference for women entrepreneurs, the day after Prompt Victoria. Yes, you can attend both. Nice to see more events up-Island.

A day full of tools goes further if you walk in knowing where your hours leak, which is where I start with clients too: map the process, then pick the automation.
