Speaking Topics: Two-Part Series

PART 1

"What I Almost Missed Because My Business Was Consuming Me"  

Presented by Liz Pulliam & Skip Wolfe, Empower Your AI 

There's a moment most wedding and event professionals know intimately. 

You're standing in candlelight watching someone else's father walk his daughter down the aisle and you realize you missed your own child's performance tonight. Again. That your family has quietly stopped asking you to be there because they already know the answer. 

You turn back to the room. You smile. You do your job beautifully. 

And you carry that weight home at midnight. 

This session is about time. The one thing none of us can make more of or buy back. Liz and Skip share the moment that changed everything for them and a simple proven framework that shows exactly where AI fits inside any wedding or event business. 

Once you see it, you can never unsee it. 

Come to Part 1 to see what's possible. Come to Part 2 to make it real. 

Liz Pulliam & Skip Wolfe | Empower Your AI 

Liz Pulliam and Skip Wolfe are the founders of Empower Your AI and two of the most uniquely qualified voices at the intersection of the wedding industry and artificial intelligence. 

Liz brings a rare combination of organizational leadership, entrepreneurial vision, and deep industry empathy to everything she does. Before co-founding Empower Your AI, she served in senior nonprofit executive roles administering federal grants and leading high-impact community organizations across rural Kentucky. That journey from mission-driven leader to entrepreneur to AI strategist gives Liz a perspective on business transformation that is both uniquely human and genuinely hard-won. 

Skip Wolfe brings analytical precision and operational discipline from a distinguished career as a nurse anesthetist and healthcare executive. His background in high-stakes clinical environments where systems, accuracy, and efficiency are non-negotiable translates directly into the way Empower Your AI builds and deploys solutions for its clients. 

Together, Liz and Skip built Hemlock Springs Wedding Venue from the ground up, scaled it into a thriving operation, and ultimately achieved a successful exit as a team. That shared experience in this industry gives them an insider perspective no outside consultant can replicate. Today they are certified AI strategists who have implemented intelligent automation systems across dozens  

of businesses spanning hospitality, property management, real estate, education, healthcare, and more. Their work is grounded in a simple but powerful belief: the best technology doesn't replace the human touch. It protects it. 

They built something beautiful in this industry. They learned what it costs when a business consumes the life you're trying to live. And they found a way out that they now share with every room they walk into. 

They don't just teach this. They've lived every chapter of it.

PART 2

"Steal My Systems: The Exact AI Tools That Run My Business Without Me"  Presented by Liz Pulliam & Skip Wolfe, Empower Your AI 

You walked into Part 1 carrying the weight of a business that never really lets you go.  Maybe you left with something you haven't felt in a while. 

Hope. 

Part 2 is where hope becomes a plan. Where the story becomes a system. Where hope becomes something you can actually use on Monday morning. 

Every system in this session has been personally built and tested inside a real wedding venue and then deployed across dozens of businesses spanning hospitality, real estate, education, and more. 

No theory. No jargon. No wasted minutes. 

Just real tools, real workflows, and a first real step you can take this week. And now, for the first time, you don't have to figure out how to get there alone. Missed Part 1? You're still in exactly the right place.
