Special Event on Artificial Intelligence

Join us for this special event looking at the effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on the workplace.

We will welcome a panel of three digital luminaries who will discuss how they are using these tools on the job and give their take on the opportunities and threats from the fledgling technology. There will be a brief presentation followed by group discussion, so it should be lively and informative! This morning session will be followed by our usual weekly lunch event at the same venue: https://bit.ly/3wapfoP.
