BlueIvy Communications to Host Quarterly AI Series for South Palm Beach County Businesses in Delray Beach

"Chasing AI: The Shift to an Agentic Work Environment" begins October 16, hosted by BlueIvy CEO Mark Burns in collaboration with the Delray Beach Chamber

WEST PALM BEACH, FL, UNITED STATES, September 9, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- BlueIvy Communications, one of South Florida's leading public relations and strategic communications firms, is launching a quarterly series to help local businesses navigate artificial intelligence, in partnership with the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce. The first session of "Chasing AI: The Shift to an Agentic Work Environment" takes place October 16 at the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce.

The series is built for business owners and their teams who are trying to make sense of a technology that changes every few months. Sessions are led by experts in AI systems and business processes. Broad by design, the focus is on how AI is changing the way businesses operate, serve customers, and compete. Business owners and teams with roughly 5 to 50 people will find something useful, from those just beginning to explore AI to established teams weighing bigger decisions together.

Every session will assess the current pulse of how AI is reshaping business, so the October conversation and those that follow will reflect a landscape that keeps evolving. BlueIvy's aim is to facilitate and lead the conversation on AI adaptation for businesses in South Palm Beach County.

"Every owner we talk to has the same two feelings about AI at once. They know it matters, and they have no idea where to start," said Mark Burns, CEO of BlueIvy Communications. "This series is built for that guidance. We are not here to sell software or hand out prompt lists. We are here to help owners and their teams make clear, confident decisions about a technology that keeps moving."

"Our job is to give our members the tools and the relationships they need to grow, and right now nothing is generating more questions than AI," said Stephanie Immelman, President and CEO of the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce. "Partnering with BlueIvy on a quarterly series means our members do not have to sort this out alone. They get honest guidance from people who work with this every day, alongside other owners facing the same decisions."

The October 16 session features two inaugural speakers. Brian Schmitt is CEO of Chief of Life, a conversion optimization agency that runs data-driven experiments for brands including Hydro Flask and Osprey and now helps companies apply AI and automation with rigor. Radu Pisano is the founder of Pisano Designer, a Delray Beach firm that helps businesses adopt AI and automation they own and can audit, drawing on years of IT expertise and digital forensics.

"The businesses getting real value from AI are not the ones using the most tools. They are the ones asking better questions and testing their assumptions," said Brian Schmitt, CEO of Chief of Life. "I have spent more than two decades running experiments to separate what actually works from what only sounds good, and that discipline matters more now, not less. I am looking forward to giving owners a practical way to see where AI earns its place and where it does not."

"Most AI problems I see are not technical. They are accountability gaps. A tool gets adopted, and nobody decided who checks its work or what happens when it is wrong," said Radu Pisano, founder of Pisano Designer. "After sixteen years in digital forensics, I have seen where that leads. My message to owners is simple. You can put AI to work without taking on risk you cannot see, and this series is a chance to show them how."

"Chasing AI" launches Friday, October 16, from 8:30 to 10 a.m. at the Greater Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce, 140 NE 1st Street, Delray Beach. Registration is free for Delray Chamber members and first-time Chamber guests.
