About this Event
AI tools are becoming part of everyday business, but many businesses are either unsure where to start, or not getting the results they expected.
This event is designed to give you a clearer, more practical approach.
Instead of focusing on trends or shortcuts, we’ll walk through how to use AI in a way that is intentional, effective, and aligned with your business goals.
Liz Cripps and Sara Hodge will guide you through both the foundations of using AI and the next step that so many other events miss - how to refine and work with AI outputs so your content actually reflects your brand and stands out.
This is not a technical session. It is a practical, business-focused experience designed to help you save time, reduce overwhelm, and improve the quality of your work.
You can expect a mix of the guided networking our members love, plus expert insights and examples you can apply in your work immediately.
As always, Halton Women Networking group events are designed to bring together women who are serious about growing their businesses while building meaningful, long-term connections.
Spots are intentionally limited to keep the experience conversational and high-quality.
This event is for you if:
- You’ve started using AI in your business but aren’t always happy with the results
- You want to save time with AI without sacrificing quality or sounding generic
- You feel overwhelmed by the amount of content AI can generate and aren’t sure how to manage or use it effectively
- You’re looking for ways to apply AI to your day-to-day work
- You value thoughtful, intentional business growth and want to connect with others who approach their work the same way
Bonus Opportunity (Optional):

For those who want to go deeper, we’ll be sharing a special bonus opportunity at the morning event for attendees who choose to participate in both sessions happening that day.
Details will be shared with attendees only.
