A weekly networking meeting where we have a lot of fun and of course, meet other busy professionals!

[Click Here To RSVP Now](https://AICourse2026.eventbrite.com/?aff=DCMU) Free Virtual Course AI is creating one of the biggest shifts in how we work, earn, compete, and build wealth — and this moment won’t last forever. Right now, AI is helping people generate new income streams, automate hours of work, cut business costs, streamline operations, 10x productivity, and operate at a level that once required entire teams. Yet most people are barely scratching the surface, using AI the same way they use Google — and missing out on life-changing opportunities. This intro webinar is your starting point. You’ll learn how to begin mastering AI to elevate your 9–5 career, optimize your business, and create new income opportunities. You’ll also understand why AI is far more powerful than the casual everyday use you see online. Afropolitan Cities is partnering with Dr. Iyanuoluwa Odebode, Ph.D, Founder & CEO of Wokkah, an expert in AI-powered decision-making and innovation. Iyanu teaches businesses and professionals how to use AI to save time, reduce costs, and unlock new revenue — and he will walk you through the exact foundations you need to start doing the same. What You’ll Learn (Clear, Practical, Immediately Useful) This webinar gives you a high-level roadmap to: • A strong foundational understanding of what AI really is — and what it is not • The secrets, techniques, and systems behind effective prompting (prompt engineering) • How everyday people are turning AI from “just prompts” into income, client systems, and scalable operations • How to leverage AI to 10x your productivity at work and in business • How to monetize AI and create multiple income opportunities • How simple AI systems can help you work better, smarter, and faster — while cutting significant operational costs • Real case studies showing how AI is used today in both professional and business contexts AI is now doing the work of assistants, analysts, editors, marketers, researchers, and strategists — all at once. When you learn how to “speak” to AI properly through effective prompts, your possibilities multiply. See less

We're working on nailing down the specific location but will ensure that it is metro accessible. See you then!
