Three Sold-Out Workshops. Now It’s Time to See AI in Action.
Our three AI workshops this year all booked out. At every session we heard the same thing from business owners: they understood what AI could do, and now they wanted to see it working in a real business.
This new workshop is built around that. Every topic includes a live demonstration, so you’ll see exactly how each tool works and how you could use it in your own business.
Whether you came to one of our earlier sessions or this is your first, you’ll leave with practical ideas you can start using straight away.

LIVE ON THE DAY
Five Live AI Demonstrations for Small Business
Each part of the morning focuses on one area where AI is making a real difference to SME productivity, and each one is shown live.
Redesigning Meetings with AI
How to run shorter, more focused meetings, capture notes and actions automatically, and make sure what’s agreed actually gets done.
Building Dashboards That Make a Difference
How to bring your key business numbers into one place so you can see what’s happening and make decisions faster.
Getting More Out of Your Existing Apps
A live demonstration with Xero, showing AI features and integrations that many businesses already have access to but aren’t using.
Building Your First Application
We’ll build a simple business application in front of you. No coding background is needed.
Getting AI Governance and Security Right
