Westpac Smarts| Building a Smarter Business: Planning for the AI Era

Building on our previous event, this session offers more practical guidance, clearer examples, and additional tools to help business owners move from curiosity into confident action.

We’ll look at what AI adoption actually looks like inside real New Zealand businesses - from improving productivity to streamlining everyday operations. You’ll see simple demonstrations, hear relatable examples, and learn approaches you can apply without needing a technical background.

The session includes a mix of short presentations, case studies, a panel conversation tailored for business owners, and quick skill‑building videos designed to help you get started right away.

If you’re looking for practical, straightforward ways AI can make a difference in your business, this session will give you fresh ideas and clear next steps.

Towards the end of the event, there will be space for some general networking, as well as the opportunity to talk through anything from the session.
