Join us next week for a Tech Talk on how to integrate AI into your business!

Meet your speaker for the upcoming Tech Talk!

Jim Gera, CEO & Co-Founder of Harmonic Health, has spent the last few years doing what most businesses are still trying to figure out: actually integrating AI into everyday operations.

On April 22, he’s bringing that experience to OPO Startups in Saint Charles for a Tech Talk. He’ll share what worked, what didn’t, and how to get your team to truly adopt AI tools.

Free to attend. RSVP here:
