- **Event Description**: Cutting Through the Hype: Practical Digital &amp; AI Insights for Peak District BusinessesAbout this EventAbout the EventThe Digital &amp; AI Summit brings together Peak District businesses to explore one of the most significant shifts facing organisations today: the rapid rise of digital technology and artificial intelligence.At recent Business Peak District networking events and the 2025 Annual Conference, our member businesses clearly identified AI and digital innovation as areas of strong interest. In particular, businesses want to better understand the real opportunities and potential threats emerging at pace — and how to respond in practical, commercially sound ways.This summit has been designed directly in response to that feedback.Why Attend?Many BPD members have expressed a desire for practical advice and real-world guidance, especially from fellow business owners who are already using AI effectively within their organisations. This event focuses on cutting through the hype to explore what AI and digital tools can realistically do for businesses today — and how to get started.The timing is critical. Digital connectivity challenges across the Peak District are now being actively addressed, opening up new opportunities for local businesses to embrace innovation. As these barriers reduce, the potential to leverage AI and digital technologies increases significantly.However, businesses that fail to engage risk falling behind. Urban-based business communities are rapidly accelerating their digital knowledge and capabilities, as seen through the growth of smart cities and data-driven enterprises. Without action, rural and semi-rural businesses could find themselves at a growing competitive disadvantage.What You’ll GainA clearer understanding of AI opportunities and risks for your businessPractical insights from business owners who are already using AI successfullyIdeas you can take away and apply, regardless of business size or sectorAn opportunity to network with like-minded Peak District business owners facing similar challengesBusinesses will also have the opportunity to exhibit at the event.
