If you own a business in Florida, you already know hurricane season can turn into a complete mess fast. One minute you are running payroll and answering customers, and the next you are trying to figure out if your staff evacuated, if your internet is going to stay up, if your insurance actually covers what you think it does, and how long your business can survive being shut down.
Some business owners have been through it multiple times already. Others made it through okay and realized afterward they really did not have much of a plan at all.
That is why I am bringing this workshop back again this year and doing it LIVE and in person at the SWFL Enterprise Center.
If you do not want to be standing in line for gas and ice while also trying to make major business decisions at the same time, you should probably come to this workshop.
Most business owners do not think about this stuff until the storm is already headed toward Florida. Keeping revenue moving. Communicating with customers. Understanding your insurance coverage before you need it. Making sure parts of your business can still function when everything feels upside down.
You’ll walk away with practical ideas and real-world planning for:
✅ Stop winging it when the next storm heads toward Florida
✅ Keep customers informed and revenue coming in while everyone else is scrambling
✅ Have a real plan in place before your phone is dying and the power goes out
Meet My Friends - The Presenters and I!
Assana Gampine, PhD, founder of Gambine AI Automation and Analytics, will be sharing how AI automation is helping businesses keep things moving when storms knock normal operations sideways. Phones still getting answered. Customers still getting responses. Follow-up happening automatically. Communication continuing even when staff is scattered, power is spotty, or business owners are dealing with their own situations at home at the same time.
A lot of business owners still think AI is just ChatGPT writing social media posts. Assana works with businesses on the operational side of automation so communication, customer response, and parts of the business can keep functioning when things get chaotic and people cannot physically be in the office handling everything themselves.
Alexia Martin founder of WhitCo Insurance | Alexia Martin Agency has been helping Southwest Florida business owners understand commercial insurance for years, and one of the biggest things she sees is business owners finding out what they were NOT covered for after the storm already hit.
She spends a lot of time actually getting to know her clients and how their businesses operate so she can help make sure they are properly covered before hurricane season rolls around. Alexia also offers complimentary insurance policy reviews because a lot of business owners honestly do not know if they have the right coverage until they sit down with someone who understands the fine print and knows the questions to ask.
Toby Buerger, Found of SHE-EO Business Academy. I’ve been helping businesses prepare for hurricanes and business disruptions for more than 25 years through storms like Charley, Wilma, Irma, Ian, Helene, and Milton. One thing I can tell you is most business owners do not realize where the gaps are until they are already in the middle of the storm trying to make decisions exhausted, overwhelmed, and with customers waiting for answers.
I’ll be talking about the practical side of hurricane planning for your business. The stuff people usually do not think about until it is happening in real time. Keeping operations moving. Communicating with customers. Planning for staff issues, power outages, internet problems, backup systems, revenue disruptions, and how to stop making major business decisions while standing in line for gas and ice.
If you own a business, manage one, or work in sales, you should probably be in this room.
