Miami Cyber launches free Claude workshops for Florida small businesses

Miami Cyber is bringing Anthropic-sponsored Claude workshops to Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville for small business owners with 5 to 50 employees. The hands-on sessions are designed to leave attendees with one weekly task automated in Claude on their own laptops, plus guidance on data protection and a free month of Claude Max.

Why it matters: - The workshops aim to move small businesses from AI curiosity to practical use by automating one recurring task each attendee already handles manually. - Miami Cyber says the format is designed to help owners adopt AI without losing control of company and client data. - The sessions may reduce the setup barrier for firms with limited time, staff and technical support.

What happened: - Miami Cyber launched a Claude SMB Workshop series in Florida with sponsorship from Anthropic. - The free, hands-on sessions are scheduled for Miami, Orlando and Jacksonville. - Each workshop is open to small business owners with 5 to 50 employees. - Attendees bring one weekly task, such as a report, client follow-up or scheduling chore, and leave with that task running in Claude on their own laptop. - Miami Cyber founder and CEO Matt Mulcahy, an Anthropic-accredited Claude SMB Trainer, leads every session.

The details: - Each workshop lasts four hours. - The series is among the first to follow Anthropic’s inaugural Claude SMB cohorts in New York City and San Francisco in September 2026. - Each session is hosted by a Claude Partner and led by an Anthropic-accredited trainer. - Approved attendees receive one free month of Claude Max. - Registration is available at luma.com/miamicyber. - Full venue addresses are shared only with approved attendees. - Miami workshop: Wednesday, November 11, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET at Coconut Grove Sailing Club. - Orlando workshop: Friday, November 13, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. ET in downtown Orlando. - Jacksonville workshop: Thursday, December 10, 1 to 5 p.m. ET at Lionshare Cowork.

Between the lines: - The program positions Claude as a business tool for repeatable work, not just a chat interface. - Miami Cyber’s focus on Microsoft 365 suggests the firm is trying to fit Claude into existing workplace systems instead of replacing them. - The limited-seat, approval-based registration makes the workshops feel more like guided implementation sessions than open community events.

What's next: - Miami Cyber plans to expand the workshop program in 2027. - Future sessions are expected to cover both Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude in cities across the United States. - Approved attendees will be able to test the workflow immediately with their free month of Claude Max.

The bottom line: - Miami Cyber is turning AI training into a concrete implementation service for small businesses, with a narrow promise: leave with one real task already automated.
