Running a business today means making faster decisions, working leaner, and staying ahead of constant change. In this session, Ian Holzhauer, co-founder of a tech-forward, subscription-based law firm and Naperville City Councilman, shares how he actually uses AI inside a real business, not just in theory.
Drawing from his experience as both a business owner and civic leader, Ian breaks down how AI can support smarter leadership decisions, streamline day-to-day operations, and improve efficiency while also helping owners avoid common risks like unreliable or “hallucinated” AI research.
In this session, you’ll learn:
- Practical ways business owners can use AI to save time and reduce operational friction
- How to use AI as a decision-support tool without over-relying on it
- Common AI pitfalls to avoid so your business stays compliant, accurate, and protected
If you’re a business owner looking to work smarter, scale responsibly, and understand how AI can support your bottom line, this conversation will give you real-world insights you can apply immediately.
