The Sheffield Marketing Meetup is an informal, friendly place for the marketers of Sheffield to meet, learn, and share knowledge with one another. Come in 'listen' not 'sell' mode 🙂

We're headed to the lovely Head Post Office at Sheffield Hallam Uni for this one. We just want to get together, say hello, have a chat, and have a nice time.

Think of this as a community event, where the focus is very much on you meeting other people in a chilled out, friendly space. We’ll chat over food and drink, listen to an inspirational speaker or two, chat some more, and go home buzzing with new contacts and new ideas.

Let’s have a lovely night in the company of some amazin’ people.

Speaker: Robin Williams, Digital Consultant - Strategy, Delivery & Growth

Topic: AI Did the Coding. I Did the Thinking. Here's What I Learned

In 10 days, Robin built 10 small digital tools using AI to code for him. It was a challenge undertaken to help understand what AI could actually do within strict timelines. And a way to test (and improve) his skills with using AI.

What he didn't expect was how much it would change the way he uses AI for everything else - including his marketing.

This is a short, honest talk about that project. Robin will share the useful bits, the frustrating bits, and what his shift from using AI as a chat tool - to using it as a proper workflow partner - looked like.

Attendees will walk away with either a new way of thinking about AI as a supporting tool in their own work. Or, they'll get reassurance about how they're already approaching and using AI in their roles.

And finally...

This is a donation ticketed event. The ticket price is yours to choose from £5 to £50 (the average community members choose to pay £11.38 :)

We of course understand that these are tough times, so if you are experiencing financial hardship and cannot afford the minimum donation amount, please reach out to el@themarketingmeetup.com and we’ll find a ticket for you (provided capacity hasn't already been reached!) 🙂

Please let your marketing friends and colleagues know about this group too, I hope to build it into a great resource for the community over the coming months and years. Attendance will be taken at this event. If you RSVP 'Yes' and then do not come, you will receive a strike. Three strikes and you're outta here! This is simply a measure to allow appropriate respect to the organisers, speakers, sponsors, and your fellow community members 🙂

See you there!
