        In this presentation, Jhoanna will break down what AI really is, without the jargon, and show practical ways small business owners can use it to save time, simplify operations, and attract more customers.

    The goal is to make AI feel less intimidating and more like a supportive partner in business growth, so members/audience can walk away with tools they can actually start using right away. 

    3 Key Takeaways from this talk: 

    1. Clarity → What AI really is (and isn’t) in business, without jargon.                                                                                       

    2. Confidence → How to start small with one or two practical use cases that save time instantly.                                      

    3. Control → Smart safeguards to make AI a trustworthy partner (not a risky replacement).                  

       Jhoanna Rius is the founder of SmartScale AI.

    Jhoanna’s path from nursing to entrepreneurship is anything but traditional, after 15+ years as a registered nurse and earning dual master’s degrees in Nursing and Business, she saw firsthand how broken systems create stress and limit growth.

    That experience inspired her to launch SmartScale AI, where she empowers small business owners to innovate with AI and use it as a trusted partner in growth. Her mission is not to overwhelm with tech jargon, but to make AI simple, human-centered, and practical.

    Jhoanna believes AI isn’t just the future, it’s a critical tool for today’s businesses to save time, attract customers, and stay competitive. In her session, she’ll show you how to start small, reduce overwhelm, and apply AI in ways that truly make a difference.
