We’re bringing WonkComms Breakfast Club back to London with an important, and very timely, topic:

AI is already reshaping how think tanks and knowledge organisations work—from automating workflows to generating content and engaging audiences. But moving from theory to practice is rarely straightforward.

In this session, we’ll leave the high-level debate at the door and get into the real-world stories. Our speakers have helped organisations navigate the promise and pitfalls of AI, and they’ll share candid insights on what’s worked, what hasn’t and what they’ve learned along the way.

Expect an honest, behind-the-scenes conversation:

Why do AI projects that look simple often reveal unexpected complexity?
What does it take to turn a one-off experiment into a sustainable new practice?
And how can think tank communicators stay in control of the message, while making the most of the technology?

This is the perfect way to restart the London Breakfast Club series: strong coffee, a room full of smart peers and case studies you can actually use in your day-to-day work.
