Description
Running a Fredericksburg Business in the Age of AI
FXBG Local Loop Quarterly Workshop Series
Artificial intelligence is rapidly changing how businesses operate—but it doesn’t have to be overwhelming.
Join the Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority for the first FXBG Local Loop workshop, designed specifically for small businesses in the City of Fredericksburg (22401 zip code), featuring guest speaker Madeline McMahon.
Madeline works at the intersection of marketing, operations, and emerging technology, helping small business owners understand AI in a practical, grounded way. Her approach reflects how businesses actually make decisions—under time pressure, with limited resources, and real-world constraints.
This session will explore:
- When AI can be a helpful thinking partner or process assistant
- When AI introduces risk or unnecessary complexity
- How to evaluate AI tools based on your business needs—not hype
Monday, February 23

FXBG Visitor Center, 601 Caroline Street
Open to businesses located in the City of Fredericksburg (22401 zip code).
Hosted by: Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority
