About this Event

Registration from 9.00am with pastries and a chance to network. We'll then hand over to Darren who will take you through the session.

The morning will culminate with a connect and grow section over a superb buffet lunch at 12noon and further networking. We'll then return to the session until approximately 4pm.


AI is not coming — it’s here. This strategic session prepares business leaders to adopt AI effectively, ethically, and competitively.


Explore the biggest shifts AI will create across marketing, sales, operations and service. We’ll discuss where to start, which tools offer the best return, and how to lead through technological change — without overwhelming your people or budget.
