Live, Hands-On AI Workshop • New Orleans

Stop Playing With AI.
Put It to Work in Your Business.

You’ve tried ChatGPT. You’ve experimented with AI. But figuring out how to actually use this stuff in your business? That’s a different story.

On October 24–25, bring your laptop and your business. I’ll show you how I use AI in real marketing work — and give you a chance to try it alongside me.

No coding. No technical background. No AI expertise required.

This Isn’t Another “Here’s 50 ChatGPT Prompts” Workshop.

You can watch another YouTube video about AI.

You can save another list of prompts you’ll probably never use.

Or you can spend a few hours with me actually figuring out how to make AI useful in your business.

I’m Shanéy Washington, Creative Brand Strategist and founder of Dream Forward Media. I’ve spent 15 years working in marketing, branding, design and digital strategy — and today, AI is integrated into how I do that work.

During these workshops, I’m opening up my process and showing you how to use these tools for real business work.

Not someday.

In the room. On your laptop. For your business.

Choose Your Workshop

You Don’t Need Another AI Tool.

You Need to Know What the Hell to Do With the Ones You Already Have.

Maybe you’ve already used ChatGPT to write a caption.

Maybe you’ve generated some images.

Maybe you’ve opened Claude because somebody told you it was better, stared at it for five minutes, and went right back to ChatGPT.

You know AI can do more.

You just haven’t figured out how to connect it to the work you’re already doing every day.

That’s what we’re working on.

Choose What Your Business Needs.

You don’t have to attend everything. Come for the workshop that solves the problem you’re dealing with right now — or attend both days and put the pieces together.

Saturday, October 24
Create With AI

In-Person · 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Turn your ideas into actual marketing content — without everything sounding or looking like AI.

We’re getting out of theory and into execution. Bring your business, your ideas and your laptop. I’ll show you how I use AI to take an idea from “I should post something about this” to actual content you can use.

We’ll work through things like:

  • Turning rough ideas and brain dumps into usable content
  • Creating content that actually sounds like you
  • Using AI for visual content and branded creative
  • Creating scripts, captions, emails and promotional copy
  • Building landing-page and campaign assets faster
  • Creating a repeatable process you can continue using after the workshop

The goal? You don’t leave with a notebook full of AI information. You leave knowing how to sit down with an idea and actually turn it into something.

3-Hour Hands-On Workshop · $47

Sunday, October 25
Advertise With AI

In-Person · 10:00 am – 2:00 pm

Stop throwing money at ads without understanding what you’re doing.

AI can help you create an ad. That’s the easy part. We’re going further — from figuring out what the hell you should be saying to creating the campaign assets and getting your campaign set up.

We’ll work through:

  • Developing your advertising angle and strategy
  • Understanding who your ad actually needs to reach
  • Writing stronger ad copy with AI
  • Creating ad visuals and creative concepts
  • Building supporting landing-page messaging
  • Setting up your Meta campaign
  • Using AI to help analyze and improve your advertising

And yes — we’re going inside Meta Ads Manager. You leave understanding what you’re running, why you’re running it, and how AI can make the process easier.

3-Hour Hands-On Workshop · $47

Get My Sunday Ticket
Need Both? Come Both Days.

Content and advertising shouldn’t live in two completely separate worlds. Spend Saturday learning how to use AI to create the marketing assets your business needs. Then come back Sunday and learn how to turn those assets into an actual advertising campaign.

$94 separately

$75 for both days

I’m Coming Both Days
Optional Virtual Session
Want to Take It a Step Further? Automate With AI

Virtual · Monday, October 26, 2026 · 6:30 pm · Replays provided

Creating things faster is one thing. Getting repetitive work off your plate entirely is another. In this optional virtual session, we’ll look at how AI can start connecting to the tools and processes you already use in your business — repetitive workflows, business operations and everyday tasks — without requiring you to become a developer.

This is where we start moving from “AI helps me do this faster.” to “AI handles part of this for me.”

Optional Virtual Session · $25

We’re Not Spending Three Hours Talking About AI.

That’s important.

This isn’t a conference where you sit in a chair, take pictures of slides and leave inspired but still don’t know what to do Monday morning.

This is a working session.

Bring your laptop. Bring your business. Bring the thing you’ve been trying to figure out.

I’m going to teach. I’m going to demonstrate. And then you’re going to do it.

You’ll have an opportunity to ask questions, try things, get stuck, fix them and understand what you’re doing while I’m actually there to help.

That’s the whole point.

You Should Probably Be in the Room If…

  • You’ve played around with AI, but you’re mostly using a fraction of what it can actually do.
  • You’re tired of AI-generated content that sounds generic as hell.
  • You know you need to market your business, but creating everything takes too much time.
  • You’ve tried running ads — or you’ve avoided them because Ads Manager looks like NASA built it.
  • You keep hearing about AI agents and automation and have absolutely no idea what that means for your business.
  • You’re not interested in becoming an AI expert. You just want this shit to make running your business easier.

Perfect. That’s what we’re doing.

Come As You Are. Bring a Laptop.

You do not need:

  • Advanced AI experience.
  • Coding skills.
  • A giant marketing budget.
  • Ten different AI subscriptions.
  • A technical background.

You don’t even need to feel particularly “good at AI.”

You need your business, your laptop and a willingness to try.

I’ll handle the rest.

Attend one day or save when you attend both

Hey, I’m Shanéy.

Shanéy Washington, founder of Dream Forward Media

Shanéy Washington

Creative Brand Strategist · Founder, Dream Forward Media

And I’m not teaching you AI because I learned how to write prompts last month.

I’ve spent the last 15 years working across marketing, branding, design and digital strategy.

I’m the founder of Dream Forward Media, where I help entrepreneurs and organizations build stronger brands, marketing systems and digital infrastructure.

As AI has evolved, I’ve integrated it into the work I was already doing — strategy, design, content, advertising, research, web development and business systems.

That’s the perspective I’m bringing into this room.

I’m not interested in teaching you every cool thing AI can theoretically do. I want to show you the things that can make a difference in the business you’re running right now.
