New year. New energy. More confidence.

If you’ve attended one of our AI Fundamentals for Business workshops or have a basic understanding and dabble with AI, this event is your natural next step – a hands-on session to help you build real momentum and put your new knowledge into action.

Designed especially for women in business across the South of Scotland, this workshop will show you how to harness digital tools, AI and automation to save time, grow your business and ditch the overwhelm – all without needing a tech background.

· Work smarter, not harder

· Create systems that give you time back

· Grow your visibility and online presence with ease

We’ll keep it light, practical and empowering – with live demos, follow-along exercises, peer stories and simple take-home resources to help you keep going after the event.
