n8n is a powerful open-source automation tool that lets anyone — from beginners to pros — connect apps, automate tasks, and move data effortlessly, all without writing code. Whether you’re optimizing business processes, syncing tools, or building smart internal systems, n8n gives you full control, flexibility, and now, AI-powered capabilities.

In this session, you’ll learn:

• How to download and install n8n for free
• How to build powerful automations without expensive third-party platforms
• How to integrate AI tools like ChatGPT, OpenAI, and more directly into your workflows to boost productivity, content generation, and data analysis

Real-world use cases across marketing, sales, customer support, operations, and beyond.

To bring it all together, we’ll showcase a live lead generation demo, where n8n automatically gathers real business data — like names, emails, phone numbers, and more — in just minutes using the Google Places API.

If you’re curious about automation, AI integration, or building your own smart systems with no-code tools, this session will show you just how far n8n can take you.

Steve Eriksen is the Founder of EventRaptor – the new solution to making Virtual Event Management easy!

He’s also a tech integration specialist and automation enthusiast.

In his previous role as the Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey, a life coach certification organization with an 8-figure revenue, he was responsible for all the tech that went into their events with thousands of attendees. When Steve hosted a summit for his own coaching business, he couldn’t find a good system to help him run his event.

So he took his technical background in the events space, combined it with his real-world experience as an event host, and created EventRaptor, a system that makes virtual event management easy.
