AI isn’t here to replace your strategy... it is here to remove the friction between idea and execution. In this practical, demo-driven session, you’ll learn how to use tools like ChatGPT to save time, improve marketing, and streamline everyday business tasks without needing a technical background. We’ll walk through real examples, including creating content, evaluating vendors, drafting communications, and turning everyday conversations into usable business assets. At the same time, this session introduces an often-overlooked side of AI: risk. With decades of experience in cybersecurity and government systems, Kenneth McMahon will provide insight into common vulnerabilities, data considerations, and what small business owners should be paying attention to as they adopt these tools.
You’ll leave with actionable prompts, real outputs, and a clearer understanding of how to use AI effectively, while avoiding common mistakes and staying aware of potential risks. This session is designed to be practical, not theoretical, so you can immediately apply what you learn. * This session is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal, compliance, or cybersecurity consulting advice.

In the run-up to secession and rebellion, the great issue dividing the United States was, of course, slavery. But the parallel, often violent dispute over immigration and immigrants, including citizenship and voting rights, remained a stubborn and intractable battleground issue as well, with unexpected but profound impact on the Union, the Confederacy, and the Civil War itself. Harold Holzer’s lecture explores the nineteenth-century pathway to citizenship for the foreign-born; the rise of the anti-immigrant, nativist Know-Nothing movement; the pervasive violence against Catholics; the recruitment of immigrant soldiers to fight on both sides of the Civil War (and why their numbers and allegiance proved crucial), and Abraham Lincoln’s seldom-remembered efforts to spur immigration—either to further diversify the North, increase manpower to put down the rebellion—or both. Immigrants played a major role in both resisting and enforcing emancipation, and in fighting for both union and separation—and this talk will explore these attitudes and their consequences.
Harold Holzer is a scholar of Abraham Lincoln and the political culture of era of the American Civil War. He serves as director of Hunter College’s Roosevelt House Public Policy Institute. Holzer previously spent twenty-three years as senior vice president for external affairs at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York before retiring in 2015. He is the author of numerous books on Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War, including&nbsp;Lincoln at Cooper Union: The Speech That Made Abraham Lincoln President;&nbsp;Lincoln President-Elect: Abraham Lincoln and the Great Secession Winter, 1860–1861;&nbsp;Lincoln and the Power of the Press: The War for Public Opinion; and, most recently,&nbsp;Brought Forth on This Continent: Abraham Lincoln and American Immigration.
