In this session\, you'll see how easy it is to create short\, engaging videos for platforms like Instagram\, Facebook\, TikTok\, LinkedIn\, and YouTube using AI tools   even if you've never made a video before. We'll share practical examples you can use at work\, in school\, on community projects\, or for fun.\n\n \n\nPLUS\, LEARN ABOUT THE SBDC:\n\nThe Southwest Minnesota SBDC offers confidential\, no-cost consulting to entrepreneurs and innovators. We'll briefly share how our services work and how you can access support if you have an idea you'd like to grow.\n\n \n\nThe Southwest SBDC provides consulting\, training and research to assist small businesses to start\, grow and transition. With our Regional Office at Southwest Minnesota State University (SMSU) in Marshall and Satellite Offices at the Enterprise Center in Hutchinson and on the Lower Sioux Reservation at the office of Dakota Futures\, we provide entrepreneurs and business owners access to one on one consulting.  The philosophy of the Center is based on the state wide SBDC principle that helping our small businesses is critical to our economy and the quality of our communities. We offer customized technical assistance and support to businesses at any point in their life cycle\, from start-up to growth to exit strategies.
