Thursday, November 5, 2026 5:30 PM – 7:30 PM Summit Human Capital 1635 W Broad St, Richmond, VA 23220 Featuring Joshua Akan-Etuk, Founder of Compute For Humans Beginner Friendly | Hands-On Workshop | Bring Your Laptop Stop Doing Work a Computer Can Do for You You know the tasks. Copying information from one system into another. Updating spreadsheets. Sending the same follow-up email. Turning raw data into a report. Moving information between forms, Slack, Teams, Outlook, Google Sheets, or other tools. You know it could probably be automated. The problem is figuring out how. This hands-on AI Ready RVA workshop is built for people who have never used n8n and may have never touched an automation platform before.

You will not spend two hours watching someone else build. You will learn the fundamentals, see practical business workflows, open the tool yourself, and start building. By the time you leave, the goal is simple: You understand how automation workflows work, you have experimented with building one, and you can start identifying work in your own life or organization that should not be done manually.

What You’ll Learn This workshop is designed around practical business problems, not technical theory. Automation fundamentals: Understand triggers, actions, data, integrations, APIs, and how information moves through a workflow. How n8n works: Navigate the platform, connect workflow…
