Few things have been hyped as much as Artificial Intelligence. However, behind all that hype, many business owners are left wondering if, when and how AI is going to impact their business. In this highly interactive presentation we’ll take a moment to align on where AI is today, why everyone is talking about it, and where it is going in the near future. After establishing some context, we’ll explore how AI is being used today and more importantly, how you can start using it in your own business. Finally, we’ll leave lots of time for your questions.

Enjoy hot and cold hors d'oeuvres and a cash bar in Craft's Hall while we learn about Artificial Intelligence from an expert in the field.

About the Presenter: Delcie Bean

CEO of Paragus I.T.

Since founding the company at the age of thirteen, Delcie Bean has transformed Paragus I.T. into one of the most successful, fastest-growing IT firms in the region. The company’s unique corporate culture and strategic approach to providing outsourced I.T. services to small-to-medium sized businesses have earned many accolades, including Inc. Magazine’s list of 5,000 fastest-growing businesses and Forbes Magazine’s 25 Small Giants.

As the company has grown, so has Delcie’s commitment to equity and inclusion. In 2014, he created Tech Foundry, an educational nonprofit designed to address the need for a skilled I.T. workforce by providing in-depth training for promising individuals from marginalized or underrepresented communities. In 2016, Delcie began the process of transitioning Paragus to a 100% employee-owned company.

Today, Delcie is on a mission to grow Paragus into a $250 million firm with offices all throughout the country. In doing so, Delcie aims to create more than 100 employee-owner millionaires. Most recently, Paragus expanded into Central Massachusetts by acquiring Comportz Technologies and opening an office in downtown Worcester.

When he isn’t at the helm of Paragus, Delcie is living the quiet life with his wife of 15 years and their three boys in southern NH, serving as a trustee of Bay Path University, and fulfilling his commitment to lifelong learning through his service to YPO.
