A Practical Introduction to Artificial Intelligence for SMEs

Delivered by Dr Denitsa Dineva

Join us for a free half-day, in-person workshop designed to demystify artificial intelligence (AI) and show how it can be used responsibly and effectively in small and medium-sized businesses.

This interactive session offers a clear, non-technical introduction to AI, with real-world examples, hands-on demonstrations, and guided exploration of beginner-friendly tools. You’ll gain the confidence to make informed decisions about experimenting with and adopting AI in your organisation.

Through demonstrations, guided activities, and discussion, participants will explore how AI can support business and digital strategy, while learning about ethical, safe, and responsible use.
