Sign Up Now

Join us at our latest Tech Leaders Collective – South West Meetup with Nick Du Preez for an interactive session exploring how businesses can identify genuine challenges and determine where data and AI can make the biggest impact.

With AI dominating conversations across every industry, many organisations are keen to embrace new technologies but are unsure where to start, what problems they should be solving, and how to turn ideas into meaningful outcomes.

In this practical workshop, Nick will guide attendees through real-world examples and discussions focused on identifying business challenges, uncovering opportunities for data and AI, and understanding where these technologies can deliver tangible value. Rather than focusing on theory, the session will work through attendees’ own business scenarios, helping organisations connect AI opportunities directly to their operational goals and challenges.

Built around the three I’s – Inspiration, Implementation, and Innovation – the session is designed to spark new ideas, provide practical guidance, and help attendees take the next step in their AI journey.

You’ll leave with a clearer understanding of where AI can support your organisation, along with actionable ideas and practical next steps that can be applied immediately within your business.
