About this Event

What Is AI and What Does It Mean for My Business?

Join us for a practical and insightful business event at St Joseph’s College, delivered by Corbel Solutions in collaboration with St Joseph’s College.

Taking place on 3 March, 9:30am–1:00pm in the Arc Building, this session is designed for business leaders who want to move beyond the hype and understand how AI can be used safely, sensibly, and effectively in real organisations.

We are delighted to welcome Ian McGuire, AI Business Solutions Specialist at Microsoft, as our keynote speaker. A leading figure in AI innovation in the UK, Ian brings clear, practical insight into what AI really means for businesses today, drawing on real-world experience and lessons from Microsoft.


Why Attend?
  • See AI working in practice, not just talked about, with live demonstrations
  • Understand what is safe, sensible, and realistic when adopting AI
  • Cut through the hype and learn how AI can drive measurable business value
  • Learn directly from Microsoft, with real-world insights and examples
  • Connect with Suffolk business leaders facing similar challenges
  • Leave with clear next steps for your organisation
  • Enjoy a buffet lunch and networking with fellow attendees

What We’ll Cover
  • What is AI- really?
  • What does AI mean for my business?
  • How can I start using AI effectively and responsibly?

Ian will demystify AI, focusing on practical applications and tangible outcomes, rather than buzzwords. The session will include recorded and live demonstrations, including an introduction to building your own generative AI agent.

Attendees will leave feeling more confident discussing AI, understanding its potential, and identifying where it can be meaningfully applied within their business.
Please inform us of any dietary requirements when booking your ticket.
