Let's Talk AI: Networking & Workshop
About this Event
A practical AI workshop and networking event where business leaders can openly discuss how AI is being used, understand the risks, and explore real opportunities for their organisation.
Let’s Talk AI is an informal, in-person discussion designed for business owners, directors, and decision-makers who want honest, practical guidance without the technical jargon, hype or sales pitches.
In a relaxed and collaborative environment, we’ll explore how AI is being used across organisations with 1–100 employees, discuss the practical opportunities and common risks we regularly see, and explain how businesses can use AI effectively without compromising security, confidentiality or data protection.
We’ll look at how AI became mainstream so quickly, briefly explain the technology behind it, and share real-world examples of how we and our clients are already using it.
We’ll also discuss which AI tools businesses should consider, how secure they are, where the information entered into them goes, and what organisations need to understand about GDPR.
This isn’t a technical deep dive or a product demonstration. It’s an opportunity to ask questions openly, learn from real-world examples, and gain a clearer understanding of how to use AI safely, responsibly and effectively within your business.
Networking First
The event will begin with informal networking, giving attendees the opportunity to meet other business leaders, share experiences, and discuss how AI is already affecting their organisations.
The workshop will then move into an open and practical discussion, with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore the areas most relevant to your business.
