About the Event
Building Future-Ready Nonprofits
& Small Businesses in the Age of AI
Nonprofits and small businesses are being asked to do more than ever — with limited staff, limited funding, and limited time. At the same time, new tools and technologies are changing how organizations and businesses operate, fundraise, and communicate.
The Future-Ready Nonprofit & Small Business Expo is a half-day, in-person experience designed specifically for nonprofit leaders and small business owners ready to move from survival mode to sustainable growth. This is not a tech conference. This is a practical, beginner-friendly capacity-building experience built for people doing real work in the community.
This event is designed for nonprofit leaders, executive directors, board members, and small business owners who want practical, plain-language guidance on using AI and simple systems to strengthen their organizations and businesses — without replacing people, mission, or relationships.
What You Can Expect
Clear, beginner-friendly conversations about AI and how it can realistically support nonprofits and small businesses — no jargon, no overwhelm.
Practical examples tailored to small nonprofit teams and small business owners — covering funding, operations, communications, and visibility.
Dedicated sessions on funding, operations, and visibility for both nonprofits and small businesses — plus an honest discussion about what not to automate.
A collaborative nonprofit and small business showcase to connect with other leaders, vendors, and community partners across the DFW area.
Enjoy lunch on us while you connect, learn, and grow alongside nonprofit and small business leaders in the DFW community.
Understand how AI and simple systems can strengthen your nonprofit or small business without replacing your people, your mission, or your relationships.
