building real AI tools, live, in one room.

03 — The Audience
Business owners and operators who choose tools, sign contracts, and set budgets. Not students. Not hobbyists.
This isn’t a 500-person conference where your brand gets lost. It’s an intimate, high-impact room where every participant knows your name by the end of the day.
04 — The Day
A focused, full-day experience designed to take business owners from “I should use AI” to “I just built something real.”
Check-in, coffee, tea, light refreshments. Informal networking while the background slide deck loops with agenda, Wi-Fi, tools, and prompts.
Welcome & objectives, overview of AI tools (Codex, cloud tools, APIs, prompt engineering), use cases & examples, mentor intros with LinkedIn QR codes, and what success looks like by 4 PM.
Sponsor MomentStructured exercise: define the problem (Who? What? Why now?), reframe into an AI-ready statement, identify constraints, sketch solution directions, and map the solution. Facilitators circulate heavily.
3 hours of deep building — tool setup, prototype workflows, lightweight tools, AI prompts & agents, real data testing. Lunch & snacks included. Mentors rotate every 15–20 min per team.
Core Experience · 3 hrsTeams prepare a tight 3-minute format: the problem (1 min), what they built (1 min), and a live demo (1 min).
3 minutes per team with short Q&A (2 min max). Every team gets their moment on stage.
Main StageGroup reflection — wins, surprises, what you’ll implement next week. Close with next steps & follow-up support options.
05 — Return on Investment
All materials, documentary content, and social reach across every network.
Dec 2025: A dedicated gallery wall with 200+ moments — your branding in every frame, still live and shareable months later.
30–50 decision-makers actively choosing tools. Adoption, not impressions.
Dec 2025: 70 participants built working prototypes on Lovable in 2 hours — zero coding experience. Every builder became a user.
Professional photo, video, testimonials, and case studies for your own marketing.
Dec 2025: Sponsor branding woven into every detail — even Lovable-themed cupcakes by a local Halifax woman entrepreneur. Every touchpoint was thoughtfully curated.
Association with Atlantic Canada's premier AI innovation event for business.
Dec 2025: Lovable owned the narrative — sold out in days, 7 winners on stage, now the reference point for AI in Atlantic Canada.
Within one week of the event, every sponsor receives a full content package (professional photos, video highlights, social media assets), a post-event outcomes report (what was built, participant feedback, engagement metrics), and warm introductions to participants who used your tools or expressed interest in your products.
This turns a one-day sponsorship into a month-long marketing asset.
