The evening in Newport, explained

Newport's seminar is a hands-on evening built for how business actually operates in a coastal, tourism-driven market. You work through real problems on screen: the welcome email that brings a resort booking, the follow-up sequence that turns a prospect into a repeat customer, the personnel schedule that accounts for seasonal hiring swings and keeps operations lean.

You see how AI handles the administrative load that buries every hospitality and service business: customer inquiries answered in minutes, booking confirmations automated, tour scheduling streamlined, contractor invoicing processed without back-and-forth. Marketing gets written and queued up in a single sitting. Staff communications and task assignments that normally eat up management time run on AI.

The room is live in Newport with time for questions, real-world troubleshooting for your specific business challenges, and one-on-one guidance. You leave with exact tools and a step-by-step plan to deploy them starting tomorrow morning.

Newport business owners are not short on hustle. You are stretched thin across customer service, staffing coordination, and the constant flow of administrative work that pulls you away from actual revenue-generating tasks. Every season brings hiring urgency, every holiday brings customer volume spikes, every unexpected absence pulls a manager back into operations.

This session teaches you which tools handle customer follow-up, which ones generate marketing from a single idea, and which ones automate scheduling and invoicing. You leave with a clear plan for your first week. In a market built on service and relationships, you gain the systems to deliver both faster.

A practical AI seminar built for Newport businesses

Newport's copy is built for the businesses that actually operate here: hospitality, marine trades, tourism, luxury retail, and professional services. Not generic national training.

This city runs on relationships and seasonal rhythms. Tourism dollars come in waves. Contractors and service partners work across multiple clients. Staffing changes with the season. Customers expect fast, personal responses in a market where every interaction builds reputation. These are not the challenges of a manufacturing plant or a call center.

This is a working session on the moves Newport businesses can use right now, built on examples from your market, with time to dig into your specific situation and constraints.

What Newport attendees walk away with

• Automate the Inbox. Customer emails, booking requests, and inquiries get answered, categorized, and routed instantly, freeing your team for actual relationship building.
• Marketing on Schedule. Build a month of social posts, email campaigns, and promotional content in one session and schedule it to go out automatically.
• Staffing Admin Gone. Job postings, screening questions, scheduling notifications, and onboarding materials get generated and deployed without you doing the typing.
• Follow-Up Before Leads Cool. Prospects get contacted while still interested through AI-generated sequences that sound like your business and move deals forward.
• Contracts and Invoices Handled. Document review, invoice processing, and client correspondence run automatically with approvals routed to the right person.
• Time Back to Your Team. Your team stops context-switching between operations and admin, focuses on delivering the service that builds your reputation.

Who the Newport seminar is for

A live seminar vs. free videos vs. an online course

What is Newport, RI actually like?

Newport is built on tourism, marine trades, Naval presence, and the hospitality businesses that serve them. Restaurants, inns, marinas, tour operators, contractors, and service firms form the backbone of the local economy.

The rhythm of the year is not uniform here. Summer brings visitors and payroll spikes. Winter brings lean months and the pressure to optimize operations and retention. Staffing challenges run constant: finding reliable, trained people for seasonal roles, coordinating across teams when someone is unexpectedly out, and keeping communication clear when people work different shifts or from different locations.

Customers in this market talk to one another. A bad experience at one business affects the neighborhood's reputation. Speed, reliability, and personalized service are not perks. They are the baseline. That competitive pressure is real and it is why your operational efficiency and customer responsiveness directly affect your bottom line.

How Newport businesses are using AI right now

Hospitality and marine businesses in Newport are already using AI to answer customer inquiries 24/7 without paying staff to wait by a phone or email. A prospect books a tour, and an instant reply confirms details and asks clarifying questions before the customer walks away. A contractor submits an invoice, and the system categorizes it, flags discrepancies, and routes it for approval. Staff schedules get adjusted in minutes when someone calls out, with notifications sent to affected team members automatically.

Tour operators and activity businesses use AI to generate detailed itinerary descriptions, safety briefings, and pre-visit emails that prepare customers before arrival. Marketing calendars get built months in advance, post copy written and queued. Seasonal hiring campaigns generate job descriptions, interview screeners, and onboarding checklists without management spending hours on admin. Restaurants manage reservations, coordinate seating, and handle substitutions and modifications through text workflows that run with zero manual intervention.

Headlined by Mike Filsaime

The Newport session is taught by Mike Filsaime, who spent 25 years building digital businesses before he started teaching AI. He built Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar, which means the workflows in this room come from someone who had to make them work in his own companies first.

He is a pioneer in AI and online business, and his reputation rests on plain English. No jargon, no theory for its own sake, no assumption that you already know what a model or a prompt is. If you can describe the job you want done, you can follow what he shows you.

In Newport he works through the moves in front of the room, live, with time for questions from the people actually sitting there. You see the workflow built rather than described, which is the part that does not survive a recording.
