Join The Columbia Mom at the AI × Marketing × Influence Power Panel — August 21 in Columbia!
Join The Columbia Mom Claire Duarte for this inspiring AI marketing event Columbia MD.
I’m so excited to share that I’ve been invited to speak on the AI × Marketing × Influence: The Power Panel here in Columbia on Thursday, August 21, 2025 — and I would love for you to be there. If you’ve ever wondered how AI is changing marketing, what it really takes to grow influence, or how small businesses can harness these tools without losing their personal touch… this is for you.
About the Event
This intimate gathering is happening from 6:00–8:00 PM (doors open at 5:45) at 8825 Stanford Blvd, Suite 300, Columbia, MD. It’s free to attend, but there are only 30 seats — so it’s truly a “don’t wait” kind of event.
I’ll be joined on stage by some incredible experts:
Moni Oloyede – B2B marketing strategist & founder of M.O. Martech
Sterling McKinley – Grow with Google coach & AI strategist
Moderated by Jeff Zelaya, hosted by Vondell Richmond
We’ll dive into how AI, marketing, and influence intersect — and what that means for entrepreneurs, creators, and community leaders like you.
I’m passionate about building genuine community both online and offline. On this panel, I’ll be sharing my own journey — from starting a local blog to growing a brand that connects families and supports small businesses — and how I use emerging tools like AI to make that impact even bigger. And because this is a smaller, in-person event, you’ll have the chance to ask questions, network, and really connect with other local professionals and creators.
Oh, and did I mention? The evening includes gourmet appetizers from Chef Elijah, a MasterChef Junior finalist, plus drinks. Great conversation, great food, and great company? That’s my kind of Thursday night.
I’d love to see some familiar faces in the audience cheering me on (and making new connections for yourselves, too!).
RSVP here to save your seat — let’s learn, connect, and get inspired together.
