SecureWon Empowers Small Business Owners to Navigate Complex World of AI with Free Event

BOSTON - May 28, 2026 - PRLog -- SecureWon, a managed IT services and cybersecurity company, is hosting a free in-person event for small business owners and operators on Friday, June 12, 2026 at its new Quincy office at 308 Victory Road.

Many business owners are hearing about the potential of AI every day and know that it is likely to be a tool that can empower them and their business, but with so much noise, how can they understand what really matters and how to kick start their journey into AI and automation technologies?

"Is Your Business AI Ready?" runs from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and is designed to help business leaders understand what's genuinely useful, what the risks are, and how to take a first practical step without investing in expensive new tools.

Breakfast will be provided. Places are limited.

"Most businesses aren't anti-AI, they're just unsure where to start or how to filter through the plethora of things they are seeing in their newsfeeds every day," said Wayne Audette, Founder and CEO at SecureWon. "Technology can empower businesses, but most business owners do not have the time to learn something new without support and structure. That's what we aim to deliver to the local community with this event and with all of our IT and technology services – supporting other businesses is a core driver for everything we do here."

What Attendees Will Learn

• Why most businesses are already using AI but often may not realise it
• Shadow AI: the risks when employees use unapproved tools
• Where business data goes when AI tools are used — and why it matters
• How to start with automation using tools already in place or easily available
• How to get value from AI
• Why training matters as much as the tools themselves

Attendees will leave with a clearer picture of where AI already sits in their business, practical first steps they can act on immediately, and a framework for evaluating what is worth their time.

SW1 Fest: A Community Celebration

Immediately following the AI session, SecureWon will host SW1 Fest — an official ribbon-cutting ceremony and community celebration to mark the opening of its new Quincy location. The ceremony begins promptly at 11:00 AM and will be joined by Quincy Mayor Tom Koch and members of the Quincy Chamber of Commerce.

The celebration will continue with a networking reception on the boardwalk, featuring live music from Norwegian Wood, along with food and drinks. The event is open to clients, partners, prospects, and community members.
