Press Release

JACKSONVILLE, FL - April 13, 2026

A three-day virtual summit focused on teaching business owners how to apply artificial intelligence to marketing, sales, and daily operations will run from April 17 through April 19, 2026. The AI for Business Summit, now in its latest edition with a cumulative attendance base exceeding 59,000 professionals, has published its complete session agenda covering topics from AI-powered advertising copywriting to automated sales systems and no-code application development.

The event is produced by Real Advisors Inc., an Jacksonville-based business training firm that has appeared on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America four times. Sessions run live via Zoom from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Eastern time each day and are open to attendees at no cost.

The summit arrives at a time when small and mid-sized business owners face mounting pressure to adopt artificial intelligence but often lack the technical background or budget to do so effectively. According to a 2024 survey by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, nearly half of small businesses reported they had not yet explored AI tools for their operations. The AI for Business Summit was designed to address that gap with live instruction, working demonstrations, and frameworks that attendees can implement during the sessions themselves.

Francis Ablola, who co-founded the summit and serves as a principal at Real Advisors, said the agenda was structured around implementation rather than theory. “We built every session to give someone a specific, working system they can put into their business that same day,” Ablola said. “The attendees who get the most value are the ones who come with a notepad and leave with something already running.”

The first day of the summit focuses on foundational AI skills for business owners. Sessions cover the current landscape of AI tools available for small businesses, a structured approach to writing effective AI prompts including advanced techniques known as super prompting, a blueprint for building functional applications without writing code, AI-driven market research and audience discovery methods, and a system for producing professional-quality business presentations in minutes.

Day two shifts to marketing and sales infrastructure. Bernard Ablola, whose organic LinkedIn strategies have generated over one million dollars in documented free advertising exposure, leads a session on social media lead generation. The agenda also includes sessions on constructing an AI-generated clone of the business owner for branded content production, creating video content for social media and advertising using current AI tools, building lead generation funnels paired with paid advertising systems, and deploying AI-powered sales bots capable of handling prospect conversations continuously. Dolmar Cross, co-founder of Real Advisors and a cast member of the A&E television series Zombie House Flipping Tampa, delivers a session on the Instagram content strategies that contributed to his national media presence.

The third day centers on revenue generation and scaling. Sessions cover creating and launching digital products, building email lists and newsletter systems, and writing advertising copy using AI-assisted frameworks. Richard Dunn, an entrepreneur whose sales career has generated in excess of one hundred million dollars in high-ticket transactions and who has built multiple companies into fully staffed eight-figure operations, leads the day’s session on sales systems. Patrick Precourt, an entrepreneur, investor, and co-author of the book Wake Up and Live The Life You Love: The Power of Team, presents a session on developing the mental frameworks necessary for business growth in an AI-driven economy. Keisha Cross, who also appears on Zombie House Flipping Tampa and has worked as a ghostwriter for prominent online content creators, leads a session on brand messaging. Brian Hanson, a senior strategist at Real Advisors, presents sessions on AI-powered lead generation and conversion systems across all three days.

The seven-speaker lineup represents a deliberate mix of disciplines. The organizers said they wanted attendees to leave not just with marketing knowledge but with functioning systems spanning content production, paid acquisition, sales automation, and audience building. Each session includes live demonstrations and interactive question-and-answer segments.

No prior experience with artificial intelligence is required to participate. The summit organizers have indicated that additional event dates beyond the April 17 through 19 window will be announced for those unable to attend the upcoming sessions.
