Everyone's talking about AI.
But where do you actually start?

You've seen the headlines. Your competitors on Main Street and across the Piedmont are moving. Your team is asking questions. But every "AI course" you've found is either too technical, too theoretical, or designed for a Silicon Valley startup founder—not someone running a real business here in the Upstate.

  • Tired of online courses that collect dust after week one
  • Overwhelmed by the flood of AI tools and don't know what's actually useful
  • Want hands-on guidance, not another talking head on a screen
  • Looking for peers who understand business, not just technology

Real learning happens
in the room.

This isn't another webinar. It's an immersive experience designed for how experienced professionals actually learn—through practice, conversation, and expert guidance. Right here in the Upstate, with people who get it.

Learn With Peers

Connect with fellow executives from across the Upstate—from downtown Greenville to Spartanburg to Anderson. Build relationships that extend beyond the workshop.

Hands-On Practice

No slides-only lectures here. You'll work directly with AI tools on real business scenarios. Leave with practical skills you can use Monday morning.

Local & In-Person

Right here in Greenville—no travel across the country. A premier venue in the heart of the Upstate, designed for focused learning with Southern hospitality.

Business-Focused

Curated for decision-makers, not developers. Learn which tools matter for your role and how to evaluate AI investments for your organization.

Current & Practical

AI moves fast. Our curriculum stays current with the latest tools that actually matter—not yesterday's hype. Updated for every session.

Expert-Led

Learn from practitioners who use these tools daily to solve real business problems—not academics theorizing about what might work.

In the heart of
Greenville.

We've secured a premier location in downtown Greenville—the kind of space that inspires focused work and meaningful conversation. Think less "hotel conference room" and more "modern innovation hub."

Modern, tech-equipped conference space

Everything you need to know.

AI GVL is designed for business leaders—executives, VPs, directors, business owners, and entrepreneurs—who want to understand and leverage AI tools but prefer hands-on, in-person learning over online courses. You don't need any technical background.

We want to ensure the best possible experience for everyone. The brief application helps us create a cohesive group of peers at similar career stages who can learn from each other. It takes about 5 minutes—no essays required.

Not at all. We specifically designed this workshop for non-technical professionals. You should be comfortable using email, web browsers, and basic productivity tools—that's it. No coding required.

Just bring a laptop (Mac or Windows) with a modern web browser. We'll provide all materials, accounts for any tools we use, lunch, and refreshments.

We host AI GVL at a premier venue in downtown Greenville—walking distance from Falls Park and the Reedy River. The exact address will be shared with accepted participants.

We offer a 100% satisfaction guarantee. If you're not satisfied, let us know by the lunch break and we'll provide a full refund. We also offer full refunds for cancellations made at least 14 days in advance.

Absolutely. We offer group rates for organizations sending 3 or more participants. Each person should complete their own application, but mention you're applying as a group.

Of course! While we're focused on serving the Upstate South Carolina business community, we welcome participants from across the Southeast and beyond. The workshop is only offered in-person—there's no virtual option.
