SUMMARY: Intro to ChatGPT for Business: Basic Setup & Security
DESCRIPTION:In just 20 minutes\, Teal cofounders Gar Whaley and Reid Johnston will show you exactly how to setup your ChatGPT Business account before your team starts working in it\, including the domain and sign-on settings that keep it off of personal devices and how to stop it from training on your prompts.  \n  \nYou’ll leave able to: \n\nVerify your domain so every employee sign-up routes into your business account instead of an ungoverned personal ChatGPT login. \n\n\nTurn on single sign-on through Microsoft or Google. \n\n\nOpt every seat out of model training in a few clicks. \n\n\nAudit which of the ~2\,000 default-enabled apps and plugins can see your prompts\, and disable the ones that could leak client or company data. \n\n\nConfigure personalization settings\, like custom instructions and memory\, so ChatGPT writes and reasons the way your company works. \n\n  \nReserve Your Seat \n  \nWho should attend \n\nCEOs / COOs / Business Leaders \n\n\nIT Directors / SMB IT Pros \n\n  \nSpeakers \nReid Johnston\, Teal Chief Intelligent Transformation Officer & Cofounder  \n25+ years guiding SMBs through practical modernization.

SUMMARY:How Leading Organizations Are Becoming AI-native | VA
DESCRIPTION:Most organizations are struggling to apply governance\, modernize the data and technology underneath those tools\, and accelerate AI without losing control of speed\, security\, or adoption. \nOn September 10\, the Northern Virginia Technology Council (NVTC) is bringing solutions to those problems to Tysons\, Virginia\, at How Leading Organizations Are Becoming AI-native. The event looks at what separates organizations that are using AI in day-to-day business operations and decision-making from those still stuck evaluating pilot projects. \nTeal cofounder Gar Whaley will be on-site to explore and discuss how to modernize data and technology; apply governance and data protection standards; and develop the leadership\, talent\, and organizational capabilities the future requires.
