01  /  What actually happens

Map it. Cost it. Build it. That's the whole night.

Forty local owners and ops leads, coffee, and a whiteboard. Real problems worked through in real time, with people who get it.

Step one · 25 min

Map the mess

We interview an owner and draw their real process on the whiteboard, step by step, then circle the one step where the time actually disappears.

Step two · on the board

Cost the bottleneck

Hours a week lost, times what an hour of that work is worth, times 52. One number, done in front of everyone.

hours/wk × rate × 52 = annual cost of inaction
Step three · 20 min

Build the fix, live

Scoped to the broken steps only, built on screen while it's explained out loud. Not a demo, a working thing, and you see how it works.

Everyone leaves with the pocket card: the five most common time-sucks, the fix pattern for each, and the math so you can run your own number at home.
02  /  We've already done this

A Winnipeg shop stopped losing orders. He'll tell you himself.

Order tracking that used to be chaos. One broken step, fixed. No overhaul, no big project. It's still running today, and the owner opens the night with his own story, in his own words.

That's not a pitch. That's his shop, still running the thing we built, told in the room where we're hosting you.

Come if
You own or run a Winnipeg business and admin is eating your week.
You have one process you keep meaning to fix and never do.
You'd rather watch something get built than hear about it.
Skip it if
You're looking for a general AI overview or a webinar.
You want a vendor to take the whole thing away from you.
You don't need to prepare
You don't need to explain your mess perfectly, or know anything about AI. Bring the problem. We'll map it with you.
04  /  Seats

Forty seats. One of them is yours.

Admission covers coffee and light snacks from a local partner. It's capped at forty because past that it stops being a table and starts being an audience.

05  /  Straight answers

Is this a sales pitch in disguise?

No. Nobody sells you anything on the night. If you want us to look at your own process afterward, there's a free ops audit you can book, that's the whole ask.

Do I have to get up in front of the room?

Only if you volunteer. We ask for a show of hands and pick from people who put theirs up.

Do I need to know anything about AI?

Not a thing. You need to know your own business, which you already do. We handle pointing the technology at the mess.

What if the live build breaks?

Then you watch two people debug in public, which is honestly the useful part. Whoever's in the seat gets the finished version within 48 hours either way.

Is it being recorded?

Yes, photos and video for the recap. You consent at registration, and we don't publish anything from a hot seat without that owner's sign-off.

Does this happen again?

Monthly, same venue, if the first one lands the way we think it will. Registering puts you first in line for the next one.

Bring one task you hate.

You didn't build a business in Winnipeg to spend your nights on invoicing. Come watch us fix someone else's first. Yours might be next.
