NEW EVENT: Get back 5+ Hours a week

Are you running your business, or is your business running you? If you’ve ever found yourself wishing for a few extra hours in the week just to breathe, strategize, or catch your breath, this event is built specifically for you.

Join us for "Get Back 5+ Hours a Week," an interactive WOWSA session designed to help you streamline operations, master practical AI tools, and finally reclaim your calendar. Proudly presented by the LaunchIt Business Exploration Centre, this evening is all about ditching burnout and working smarter, not harder.

What to Expect

The evening kicks off in a high-energy, collaborative space designed to spark connections and give you immediate value before we even dive into the main presentations:

• Drinks, Appetizers & Speed-Networking: Connect fast, share goals, and build meaningful partnerships with fellow local women entrepreneurs.

• Free Content Capture Room: Bring your products and snap fresh, professional photos or grab B-roll footage for your social media channels on the spot.

• "Time Drain" Graffiti Wall: Pin your biggest daily operational bottlenecks and see how your peers tackle the same calendar hurdles.

Featured Presentation: AI in Marketing—Where It Saves Time vs. Where It Breaks Your Brand

Artificial intelligence is everywhere, but how do you use it without losing your unique voice?

In our headline session, Kris Keown (KMI Consulting) and Jennifer Rudinac (Feel Alive Wellness Station)—whose marketing and brand are managed by Kris—will walk you through live, practical demonstrations. They’ll show you how to safely leverage powerful AI tools like Claude and Gemini to supercharge your marketing without diluting your authentic brand identity. Learn exactly where AI saves you precious hours, and where relying on it too much can break your brand.
