Winning With AI, Four Pennsylvania Dates in August
Four nights in a row in August 2026, running from the Lehigh Valley up I-81 into the Wyoming Valley and Lackawanna County. Pick whichever drive is shortest.
What is the seminar in Pennsylvania?
Winning With AI is a one evening, in person seminar for Pennsylvania business owners of every type, and four Pennsylvania dates are confirmed for August 2026: Bethlehem on the 20th, Wilkes-Barre on the 21st, Allentown on the 22nd, and Scranton on the 23rd. Whoever fills the chairs, a roofer, a diner owner, a bookkeeper, a hair salon, a nonprofit director, a two truck plumbing outfit, the night covers the same six things: answering customer questions, keeping follow-up going so leads do not go cold, turning notes into quotes and proposals, producing marketing in batches, cutting the back and forth out of scheduling, and clearing routine written admin. Mike Filsaime teaches it in plain English and types every example live in the room. No code, no experience needed, and nothing sold at the end. Early-bird seats are $49 while available, and if the evening is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
- The four seminars run on four straight nights in August 2026, so an owner in Reading or Hazleton can choose the shortest drive rather than the nearest city.
- The Lehigh Valley sits about an hour from Philadelphia and ninety minutes from New York, which is why so much of its daily business moves along Route 22 and I-78.
- Northeast Pennsylvania works off the Cross Valley Expressway and I-81, tying Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, and Hazleton into one market that shares customers.
- There are 67 counties here and no single center of gravity. Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Erie, and Harrisburg each keep their own customer base and their own weather.

What happens on the night in Pennsylvania?
Three hours, in person, in a hotel room with a screen at the front and other owners in the chairs. Bring a laptop and something real: an estimate you keep putting off, a message from last Tuesday you never answered.
Mike Filsaime has spent twenty-five years building companies, Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar among them. He talks owner to owner, no jargon, and every example gets typed out where the room can read the exact wording.
Part of the night is about limits. What you charge is judgment and it stays with you. So does the customer who is already angry, and so does anything that ends up public with your name attached.
How business actually works in Pennsylvania
The Lehigh Valley is three cities stacked close together. Allentown works off Hamilton Street, Bethlehem splits between Historic Main Street and the South Side, and Easton sits at the fork of two rivers. An owner can serve all three before lunch, and plenty do.
Head north on I-81 and the map changes. Wilkes-Barre runs off Public Square and Kingston across the river, Scranton off Lackawanna Avenue and the old rail station, Hazleton up on the ridge. Winter driving on the Cross Valley Expressway is why appointments get moved.
West and center, the state spreads out. Pittsburgh does business bridge by bridge, Harrisburg empties at five when the offices close, Erie runs on a lake season, and the counties between are small towns strung along two-lane roads where word travels faster than any ad.
How Pennsylvania businesses use AI right now
The most common first use is the pile that builds overnight. Emails, voicemails, and web form questions come back as drafts you approve or correct, so the first half hour of the day is decisions instead of typing.
The second is turning talk into paper. A Bethlehem contractor speaks the job into a phone on the drive down 378 and reads back an estimate. A Kingston property manager builds the tenant instructions she retypes monthly into one document she reuses. Booking at a Scranton studio drops from five messages to one.
The third is the marketing that never gets written. An Easton gift shop does a season of emails in one sitting. An Allentown crew has the spring mailer ready in February. A Wilkes-Barre nonprofit leaves its board meeting with the minutes done. Pricing, the customer who is already angry, and anything that shows up in public stay off AI deliberately.
What do Pennsylvania attendees take home?
- You start the day approving, not typing. What came in after close is already written up as drafts. You read it, fix what is wrong, and send. The half hour you used to lose to that is back on the clock.
- A job you walked and described comes back as a quote. Say what the work needs while you are standing in it, and the wording arrives written. The number is still your call. The typing is the part that leaves your desk.
- Nobody drops off the list. More work is lost to silence than to price. Who has gone quiet gets tracked, and the next message gets drafted in your words rather than in template language.
- A season of marketing done in one sitting. Marketing stops the moment the calendar fills. Building it in a batch ahead of the busy stretch is the version that survives a Pennsylvania August.
- No trade is the target here. Diners, roofers, salons, gyms, repair shops, landscapers, cleaners, real estate agents, accountants, law offices, dental and medical offices, nonprofits, online sellers, agencies, and one-person operations. The hours these tools remove look the same in all of them.
- What stays with a person. Setting price, handling the customer who has had enough, and anything that shows in public. The evening is specific about why those three do not move.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
He'll not only make it simple, he'll make it very profitable.
When I saw what Winning With AI could do, I knew we had to move fast. Work that used to drag out for three months now gets delivered by my team in two or three days.
I'm a tougher critic, but Winning With AI blew me away. One idea showed me how to save thousands of dollars a month.
I had no coding experience. No technical background. Nothing. After seeing how to use AI in plain English, I built software and workflows that completely changed my company.
What do people in Pennsylvania ask about the seminar?
When and where are the four Pennsylvania seminars in August 2026?
Bethlehem on Thursday, August 20 at Hyatt Place on West North Street at 6:00 PM. Wilkes-Barre on Friday, August 21 at the DoubleTree on Wildflower Drive at 6:00 PM. Allentown on Saturday morning, August 22 at the Hilton Garden Inn on Airport Road at 10:00 AM. Scranton on Sunday, August 23 in the old Lackawanna Station on Lackawanna Avenue.
Is the Pennsylvania seminar aimed at one kind of business?
No. A Hamilton Street storefront, a plumbing truck out of Plains Township, a title office in Harrisburg, and somebody shipping orders out of a garage in Emmaus all sit in the same room and lose hours to the same repeating tasks.
I run a two-person shop near Scranton. Do I need a technical background?
None. You type plain sentences, closer to writing a text message than to anything technical, and Mike builds each example live while the room interrupts with questions.
What does a Pennsylvania seat cost, and what if the night is not useful?
Seats run $49 at the early-bird rate while they last. Attend, and if it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and the registration fee is refunded.
Which of the four Pennsylvania cities should I pick?
Whichever drive is shortest. The material is the same on all four nights. Bethlehem and Allentown suit the Lehigh Valley and Bucks County. Wilkes-Barre and Scranton suit the Wyoming Valley, Lackawanna County, and anyone coming down I-81.
Where do the Pennsylvania dates sit in the wider program?
Every Pennsylvania room is one stop on Winning With AI, the touring live AI seminar Mike Filsaime teaches one evening at a time in cities across the United States. The teacher, the demonstrations, and the money-back guarantee are the same in every city; the examples change to match the businesses sitting in the room.
