NPL Presents: AI or DIY? The Tech Dilemma

What’s better than a room full of Lake Nona’s most inspiring women?
You’re about to find out. ✨

At its core, success, especially for small businesses, comes down to two things: time and money. Every hour saved and every dollar preserved directly impacts profitability, scalability, and long-term sustainability.

What makes this moment different is access.


AI and machine learning tools are no longer reserved for large firms with deep pockets. Today, entrepreneurs, professionals, and growing businesses can leverage these tools to streamline operations, reduce overhead, and focus on higher-value work.

From automating workflows and improving customer experience to enhancing decision-making and marketing strategy, AI is reshaping how we work. But with that opportunity comes important questions around accuracy, ethics, and when to rely on tech vs. human expertise.

This isn’t theory—this is practical.

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion exploring real-world applications of AI, designed to help you:

  • Save time and reduce costs
  • Operate more efficiently
  • Make smarter, data-driven decisions
  • Understand the risks before implementation

Because the question isn’t whether AI will impact your works, it’s how you choose to use it.
