The Greater Owensboro Economic Development Corporation (GOEDC), the Kentucky Small Business Development Center (KY SBDC), Wonder Boy Media, and The Brew Bridge are teaming up to host Marketing on Tap: Learn How to Use AI to Draft Better Content, a hands-on workshop aimed at helping small business owners embrace AI tools to improve their marketing.
The event will be held on Tuesday, May 20, from 11:00 AM to 2:30 PM at The Brew Bridge, Owensboro’s local taproom. Tickets will go on sale Monday, May 5, at 8 a.m. for $10 and include training, lunch, and all materials.
“Understanding and adopting AI is no longer optional for small businesses, it’s imperative,” said Claude Bacon, President & CEO of GOEDC. “We’re excited to host an event that not only teaches practical tools but does so in a fun, community-centered space. Owensboro’s small business owners are creative, and this gives them another edge.”
The workshop kicks off with an introduction to AI from Jody Hulsey, Center Director & Business Coach with the KY SBDC, followed by a panel of local small business owners already using AI in their marketing strategies.
“AI doesn’t have to be intimidating,” said Hulsey. “This training is all about helping people see how tools like ChatGPT can simplify what they’re already doing, making content creation faster, smarter, and more effective.”
After a catered lunch from The Brew Bridge, attendees will take part in a hands-on ChatGPT training led by Drew Hardesty, President at Wonder Boy Media.
“We use AI every day to help streamline our creative process, and we’re excited to share what’s working,” said Hardesty. “Whether you’re drafting social posts, emails, or video content, there are smart ways to use these tools without losing your brand’s voice.”
The day wraps with a tasting hosted by The Brew Bridge and open networking. Space is limited, and early registration is encouraged. Tickets are on sale now https://marketingontap.eventbrite.com.
