A Seat at the Table is a practical, 2.5-hour AI workshop for eight women in Havre de Grace, Maryland. Complete beginners are welcome, and regular AI users can bring a harder task. The September founding-table ticket is $95.
Do I need technical or AI experience?
No. The workshop is designed for complete beginners. If you can use email in a browser, you have enough technical experience. We begin with a shared example before anyone works independently.
Which AI tool will we use?
This is not a tool-specific sales pitch. The browser-based assistant for the September table will be named in your pre-session email, with simple setup instructions. The method—clear briefing, useful iteration and sound judgment—is designed to transfer between tools.
What if I already use AI every day?
Bring the harder task you still have not solved. You will work on better briefing, iteration and judgment—not sit through a tour of basic features. Because there are only eight seats, Emily can meet you at your level.
What should I bring?
Bring a charged laptop and one real task you would like help completing: an email, proposal, plan, job description, marketing post or another item from your own list.
What will I leave with?
You will leave with one completed piece of work, a repeatable method for briefing an AI assistant, a take-home kit, ideas from the other participants and two weeks of follow-up.
What information should never go into an AI tool?
Do not paste passwords, confidential client material, unpublished financial information, sensitive personal data or anything you do not have permission to share. The workshop explains this boundary before practical work begins.
Where does the workshop take place?
It takes place in a private home in Havre de Grace, Harford County—about 45 minutes from Baltimore and about 75 minutes from Philadelphia by car, depending on traffic. The full address, arrival instructions and parking details are shared after booking. Aberdeen station is served by MARC and Amtrak; email before booking if you are considering rail so we can help you check the last leg. Refreshments are included.
Why is the group limited to eight?
Eight is small enough for individual help and large enough to learn from other people’s examples. The workshop will not be expanded beyond eight seats.
Why is this workshop for women?
Research shows a gender gap in generative AI adoption, encouragement and perceived risk. A small women-only room creates safer conditions for experimentation. Read the research briefing.
What if I cannot attend after booking?
You may transfer your seat to the next table. Bookings are transferable rather than refundable.
What if the current date does not work?
Use the expression of interest form for first access to the next date and price. You will be contacted about A Seat at the Table only; this does not subscribe you to marketing.
