August Speaking Recap: 3 Events, 3 Industries, 1 Clear Message About AI
August was a whirlwind in the best way.
I had the opportunity to speak at three very different industry events, in front of hundreds of business owners from across the country. Each audience had unique challenges and goals, but one message rang true in every room:
You don’t need to master AI. You just need to know how to use it to support your business.
Kentucky Florists’ Association Convention (KFA)
At KFA, we talked all about local visibility, specifically how florists can use tools like Google Business Profile and AI to show up better in local search. I walked attendees through how to update their listings, write compelling descriptions, and even respond to reviews using AI that actually sounds like them. This audience was eager to learn and full of great questions about how to use tech to connect with real customers in their community.
The Clean Show
The energy at The Clean Show was next level. This is a massive industry event for dry cleaning and laundry professionals. My session, “Unlock the Power of AI to Revolutionize Your Business,” was standing room only. We focused on how to make marketing and daily communication easier with the right AI tools. I showed live demos of how ChatGPT can help write follow-up messages, prep Google content, and streamline the kind of tasks that tend to fall through the cracks.
Central Florida Wedding Association (CFWA)
At CFWA, I originally planned to deliver a keynote. But we shifted into a hands-on workshop, and it made all the difference. Wedding business owners rolled up their sleeves and learned how to pre-bake their AI tools so they could create consistent content, stay visible, and better connect with their ideal clients. We talked about strategy, not just tools, and that’s where the real magic happens.
What I Heard Across All Three Events
✅ Business owners are more open to using AI than ever before
✅ They’re craving clarity, not complexity
✅ And they’re ready to take action when someone meets them where they are
That’s what I love most about speaking. Not just standing on a stage, but making space for real conversations. Conversations where people feel seen, supported, and confident enough to try something new.
AI doesn’t have to be overwhelming or impersonal.
It can be a practical, empowering tool that helps you stay visible, serve your clients better, and reduce burnout in your business.
Thank You
To every attendee, organizer, and fellow speaker, thank you.
Your energy, questions, and openness reminded me why I do what I do.
Grateful for the time to connect, teach, and simplify the chaos one conversation at a time.
If you’re planning an event or looking for a speaker who makes AI feel approachable and actionable, I’d love to connect. www.kristinastubblefield.com/speaking
