About this Event

We Are Wakefield First Friday Networking

Friday 5th June | 9:30am–11:30am | Vue Cinema, Xscape, Castleford

Join us for breakfast at Vue Cinema, Castleford for a morning of great conversations, growing collaborations and a no-nonsense look at what AI is changing in business.

Jo Guy and Andrew Brindley of Conker AI will tell us what AI is changing, where the risks are, and how to use it in a way that actually saves time and improves decisions. You will leave with practical insight on ghost AI, privacy, prompting, deep research, and what leaders need to do now to make AI useful, safe and worth the effort.

We'll also hear from Wayne Lamb of Vue Conferencing & Events on how the cinema could be your next meeting and conference destinantion.

We will have the usual We Are Wakefield member exhibitors, networking oportunities and a chance to make new connections.

Our aim is to consider the needs of all our members and visitors to create an inclusive, welcoming environment at every event.

As we host events in different venues, noise levels and surroundings may vary. While we are mindful of this, networking and group gatherings can sometimes be loud, which we appreciate may be challenging for some individuals, including those who are hearing impaired, neurodiverse, or sensitive to sound.

If you require accommodations please speak to a member of the WAW team. A quieter space will be allocated.

Thank you for your understanding and for helping us make our events accessible and enjoyable for everyone.
