PORTLAND — On February 14, small business owners and managers will have the opportunity to participate in a free online event that will explain how artificial intelligence (AI) can help them in their operations, from organization to accounting to social media management.
‘Beneficial workshops like this would not be possible without community sponsors. In this case and others, that’s Norway Savings Bank,’ said Nancy Strojny, State Assistant District Director of SCORE Maine.
