Host: East Midlands Chamber

Generative AI is no longer a novelty; it's a core driver for scaling businesses. But moving from casual, individual use to a secure, company-wide strategy is the biggest hurdle.
This practical workshop is a playbook for leaders in high-growth companies. It cuts through the hype and focuses on how to deploy ChatGPT and Microsoft Copilot safely and effectively, turning your team into a more productive, AI-enabled workforce.

- Real-World Use Cases (Beyond Chat): Using AI for summarisation, data analysis, content generation, and process automation.
