How this list was made

Each Playbook event below was already checked against its organizer page on October 16, 2026. Times and costs are the ones stored with the event, not a second set of clocks. The full calendar is AI events in Charleston. A shorter note on that calendar is where to learn AI in Charleston this fall. Groups that may or may not have an upcoming date are on Charleston AI meetups.

Law firms already have a guide, AI for law firms in Charleston, and a note, how a Charleston law office can start with AI this week. This page does not repeat that guide.

SCORE and the SBDC

SCORE Charleston’s chapter page, read October 16, 2026, lists the workshops in the next section. They are free and online. Most are not AI classes. The grant session is about applying for a grant, not about an AI product. Mentoring is described as always free. The page is score.org/sc/charleston-sc.

The SC SBDC locations page, read the same day, lists the Charleston office and does not list an AI workshop. Counseling is described as free and private on scsbdc.com. The College of Charleston library lists official AI tools for students, faculty, and staff, not as a public class. That entry is College of Charleston.
