Challenge
- Make AI feel practical for wholesale florist and supplier teams who are not technical
- Fit a full workshop and buildathon into a single day inside DevX, not a generic keynote
- Tie AI to real floral-industry work: operations, communications, shared knowledge, and customer service
- Send people home with something they could use on Monday morning
Approach
- Designed an AI Workshop & Buildathon specifically for the wholesale floral industry
- Morning: why this matters, know your tools, and 18 AI power moves
- Afternoon: a hands-on buildathon so attendees built tools themselves
- Closed with Q&A and Monday-morning next steps
- Handed WFFSA the AI for All deck so they could send it to every attendee the next day

Testimonial
The AI Workshop & Buildathon with Purple Horizons was the icing on the cake. Instead of stopping at broad explanations of artificial intelligence, the session focused on practical applications. We explored platforms for different business needs, learned 18 AI power moves and spent the afternoon building tools ourselves.
