AI Show & Tell

Friday, June 26, 2026 | 8-10am

Improving (Uptown, Minneapolis)
Featuring Erica Hanna (Puke Rainbows), Ryan Peña (NMDP), & Greg Swan (FINN Partners)

What happens when you put a room full of curious people together and ask: “What have you actually tried with AI?”

This interactive SMBMSP session combines live demos, audience submissions, practical workflows, creative experiments, and open conversation about the realities of working with AI right now. Featured guests and attendees will share tools, prototypes, automations, successes, failures, and surprising discoveries from their own day-to-day work.

We’ll also create space for the bigger questions — the awkward ones, skeptical ones, and beginner ones — in a conversation designed to be useful instead of performative.

Come ready to learn, share, question, and leave with ideas worth stealing. Feel free to send questions in advance to smbmsp@gmail.com or message us on any of our socials.
