Join us for the next event in our Entrepreneur Luncheon series, featuring Tara Allen!

 

About the Presentation:

 

Tara Allen is the Coordinator of the Marketing Management program at Kirkwood Community College, where she has spent nearly a decade bridging the gap between higher education and the regional business ecosystem.

In her upcoming presentation, “IMAGINE…Smarter AI Prompting for a Smarter Business,” Tara will guide attendees through a practical SMART prompting approach. Entrepreneurs will learn how to extract highly meaningful AI results to solve real-world challenges — spanning customer insights, branding, content creation, research, and strategy — and leave with an immediate, executable plan of action.
