Artificial Intelligence is no longer a future concept — it is already reshaping how businesses operate, compete, and grow. Yet for many business leaders, founders, and SMEs, the challenge is not whether to adopt AI, but how to do so responsibly, strategically, and with real commercial impact.
AI for Business is a curated event series designed to cut through the noise and hype, and focus on practical, business-led AI adoption.
Each session brings together business leaders, SME owners, innovators, and AI practitioners to explore:
- How AI is being used today across different business functions
- What AI can (and cannot) realistically deliver for non-tech organisations
- Where the biggest opportunities and risks lie for SMEs
- How to approach AI adoption with the right strategy, governance, and mindset
What you’ll gain from attending
✔ A clearer understanding of how AI can support your business goals
✔ Real examples of AI use in operations, marketing, finance, and decision-making
✔ Insight into risks, ethics, and governance — and how to manage them sensibly
✔ The ability to ask practical questions and learn from peers facing similar challenges
✔ New connections with business leaders navigating AI adoption
Who should attend
- SME owners and founders
- Business leaders and directors
- Innovation, operations, and strategy professionals
- Consultants and advisors working with SMEs
- Anyone responsible for shaping how AI is used within an organisation
No prior AI knowledge is required — just curiosity and an openness to learn.
