Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn't coming. It's already changing how businesses work, and many of today's most powerful AI tools are free or surprisingly affordable.

Whether you're a start-up, small business, charity or established organisation, AI can help you work smarter, create better marketing, improve customer communications, reduce repetitive tasks and free up more time to focus on growing your business.

During this practical workshop you'll discover how tools such as ChatGPT, Canva AI, Gamma and other leading AI platforms can help with everything from content creation and marketing to planning, research, administration and strategic decision making.

Along the way you'll also learn where AI works brilliantly, where it doesn't, and how to use it safely, responsibly and with confidence.

This isn't a workshop about replacing people. It's about helping people become more productive using AI.

This full day workshop will show you how!

This course will include:

• What Artificial Intelligence is, and why it matters to small businesses
•  Understanding today's leading AI tools
•  Creating blogs, social media, emails, presentations and other marketing content faster
• Using AI to improve productivity, reduce admin and save valuable time
• Using AI for planning, brainstorming, customer profiling and business strategy
• Writing better prompts to achieve more accurate and consistent results
• Understanding AI limitations, hallucinations, bias and responsible use
• Data protection, privacy, copyright and confidentiality when using AI
•  Practical demonstrations and real-world business examples throughout

AI is one of the biggest changes to affect business in decades, but separating the hype from the reality can be difficult.

This practical masterclass cuts through the noise, giving you honest, real-world advice and practical techniques you can start using immediately. Whether you're completely new to AI or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, you'll leave with greater confidence, a clearer understanding of what's possible, and plenty of ideas you can apply in your own business.

There will be a lunch break during this session, please note that lunch will not be provided.
