Russell Williams of The Strategy Group to Lead AI Finance & Legal Session at 2026 Small Business Summit

Tahlequah, OK — February 2026 — The Strategy Group, LLC is proud to announce that Russell Williams, Business Coach with The Strategy Group, will serve as a featured session leader at the 2026 Small Business Summit: Where Business Meets AI, taking place February 4, 2026, from 8:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. at the Indian Capital Technology Center in Tahlequah.

The annual Small Business Summit, hosted in partnership with the Tahlequah Chamber of Commerce, brings together entrepreneurs, business owners, and community leaders for a day of learning, collaboration, and practical tools to support business growth. This year’s summit places a special emphasis on Artificial Intelligence in Small Business, exploring how emerging AI tools can be responsibly and effectively integrated into everyday operations.

Russell Williams will lead a hands-on, interactive session focused on Using AI for Financial & Legal Support, with practical applications aligned to SSBCI (State Small Business Credit Initiative) parameters. The session will combine expert guidance with real-time audience engagement, encouraging participants to actively work through AI prompts on their own phones or laptops to address real business challenges.

“AI doesn’t have to be intimidating or abstract,” said Williams. “When used correctly, it can help small businesses improve financial readiness, strengthen documentation, and make better strategic decisions. This session is about giving entrepreneurs tools they can use immediately.”
