Join us as we unlock the potential of AI
Join the Port Credit BIA for our Coffee & Community Network meeting on July 3, 2025 for a FREE session on how you can leverage AI for your business.
Port Credit BIA welcomes guest speaker Scott Kendall, President of Outhouse IT Inc.
As a small business IT provider, Outhouse understands the day-to-day pressure of wearing too many hats. AI won’t replace your job—but it can take a few things off your plate. This presentation is built to show real, simple ways AI can help business owners save time, improve marketing, and follow up with leads—without being tech experts.
We’ll focus on live demos, take real audience questions, and keep it human, helpful, and hype-free.
