The Blackstone Valley Chamber of Commerce (BVCC) is proud to announce a quarterly leadership series exploring the forces reshaping businesses. The inaugural summit will focus on Artificial Intelligence, designed for business owners, executives and department leaders to make better decisions about where AI belongs, where it does not, and where human judgment still matters most. Leading Through the Age of AI, will take place on Wednesday, October 28, 2026, from 8:00am-1:30pm, at Whitinsville Golf Club, located at 179 Fletcher Street, Whitinsville, MA 01588.
This executive-level, hands-on, half-day summit will give you confidence in your decisions, your team, and your business. Joining us will be two facilitators bringing different, but complimentary perspectives to the conversation.
Lynn Whitney-Turner, Founder of CORE XP Business Solutions, will lead “Riding the Waves: Helping Leaders Navigate the Forces Changing Business.” Drawing from her experience participating in AI leadership summits and examining the forces reshaping today’s business environment, Lynn will help leaders look beyond the technology itself and consider how they can lead effectively through rapid change. Her session will focus on building clarity, confidence and control, particularly for leaders who may already be using AI every day, are skeptical of it, or are somewhere in between.
Kham Inthirath, CEO of AI Advisor Guy, who will take participants from conversation into application, with a practical look at how AI can become part of the way they actually work. Rather than simply demonstrating another collection of AI tools, Kham will help participants build an AI workspace and assistant around the way you work, creating an experience that is relevant to your own workflow and responsibilities.
“This is a working summit, not just a presentation,” said Jeannie Hebert, BVCC President & CEO. “We want our leaders to leave with something they can actually use. Whether they are just beginning to explore AI or already incorporating it into their daily work, the goal is for participants to return to their businesses with greater confidence, a clearer understanding of what matters, and practical tools they can continue using.”
