Laney College's AI Center of Excellence (BAAICOE), 900 Fallon St, Oakland, CA 94607

July 23-Oakland (4-6 PM) &amp; Aug 4-San Rafael (5:30-7:30 PM)

Join us for an evening of networking and education with fellow NARI members and Bay Area remodeling industry professionals. To make it easy to attend, we're offering this program in two locations on different dates-same topic, different demonstrations:

* July 23 - The AI Center at Laney College, Oakland (900 Fallon St, Bldg F, Room 254)
* August 4 - Floortex Designs, San Rafael

Ninety minutes won't make anyone an AI expert-and that's not the goal.

What this session will do is move you from AI-curious to AI-practical by providing a clear framework for using AI tools to save time, streamline tasks, and solve real business challenges.

This program skips the hype. It's designed for busy remodeling professionals who don't have time for endless theory-or for chatbots that confidently invent code requirements or construction details. The real value of AI comes from applying it to your projects, your data, and your professional judgment.

Presenters Brian and Tuan bring AI expertise, facilitation skills, and cross-industry experience. You bring the remodeling knowledge. Together, we'll explore how to direct AI toward the challenges you already understand and turn it into a practical business tool.

We'll also showcase real-world demonstrations from business owners and remodeling professionals who are already using AI effectively in their day-to-day operations. No futuristic concepts-just proven examples, lessons learned, and ideas you can put to work immediately.

If there's interest in taking the next step, we'll survey attendees at the end of each session about future hands-on training opportunities. Based on demand, we may coordinate a workshop series focused on applying AI directly within your remodeling business.

PLUS Industry Networking. Meal provided.

Color, fragrance, texture, and taste: many senses are engaged when you enjoy a glass of wine. But have you ever tried listening to a sip of wine? Tuning in to the sounds and whispers of your thoughts and memories, the stories and visions conjured by your imagination? Deliciously original phrases and images await discovery as soon as you expand beyond the familiar vocabulary of oak and tannins, butter and pears.
Join us on July 16 at&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://jeredspottery.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Jered’s Pottery</a>&nbsp;in Emeryville, where light, color, and craft converge, for this very special evening of tasting and storytelling, to benefit&nbsp;Litquake, San Francisco’s literary festival.
Guided by your hosts,&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://grantfaulkner.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Grant Faulkner</a>&nbsp;(The Art of Brevity) and&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.elizabethrosner.com/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener">Elizabeth Rosner</a>&nbsp;(Third Ear), you’ll embark on an adventurous and playful experience tasting a curated series of&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://saintsbury.com/" rel="nofollow noopener">Saintsbury</a>&nbsp;wines, along with prompts to inspire writing your own 100-word descriptions—or stories, rather, because every sip of wine holds a story. Or a poem. You will come up with your own wine vocabulary, your own wine story, and your words will infuse your senses (while your senses infuse your words) to create a memorable experience—shared with others.<a target="_blank" href="https://donorbox.org/events/931043/steps/choose_tickets" rel="nofollow noopener">Tickets</a> ($40) support Litquake’s mission to connect readers and writers through memorable literary events and experiences.

The evening will include a wine tasting&nbsp;(with nonalcoholic options available), fun writing&nbsp;activity, and opportunities for storytelling&nbsp;and connection. We'll also have a raffle&nbsp;with fun prizes from our partners, a contest&nbsp;to name Jered's Pottery's newest glaze color, discounts for wines purchased on site, and other surprises!
