FuseDSM Quarterly Luncheon: A New Way to Connect, Learn, and Grow

The FuseDSM Quarterly Luncheon offers a fresh opportunity to connect with fellow members. By hosting a lunch meeting, we aim to accommodate members who may have conflicts with the usual breakfast schedule, ensuring more voices can join the conversation.

Each month, the Chamber features a dynamic speaker who shares:

Timely insights affecting our community.
Perspectives on important issues and opportunities.
Inspirational stories that resonate and inspire action.

Topic: AI on the Edge: Protecting Your Business from Invisible Threats
Discover how artificial intelligence, while powerful can also become a liability if left unchecked. You’ll explore the real-life UnitedHealth tragedy that shook the nation, uncover local cyber breach stories that hit closer to home, and learn why small businesses are now the #1 target for AI-enabled threats.
