AI After Dark - May 2026

AI is changing how small businesses show up online—and it’s happening faster than most people realize. What used to take a full marketing team can now be done by one person with the right approach. The challenge isn’t access to tools. It’s knowing what’s actually changed, what still matters, and how to adapt without adding more to your already full plate. In this AI After Dark session, Amber Welch breaks down the new reality of marketing for small businesses and nonprofits. You’ll learn how AI is reshaping speed, consistency, and expectations—and why the old “post when you can” approach is quickly falling behind. Using her proven content batching system as a real-world example, Amber will show how AI turns scattered efforts into a repeatable, manageable workflow that keeps you visible without burning out. This is not a tool demo or a step-by-step tutorial. It’s a practical look at what’s different now—and what you should do about it.
