You don’t have to work it all out on your own.
Some people are just starting. Some use AI every day. Some are building with it.
Bring what you know, what you’re trying and the questions you haven’t found a useful answer to yet.
- Compare notes.What’s working? What isn’t? What have you tried that surprised you?
- See different ways of doing things.Hear how other business owners use AI and consider what could be useful in your own business.
- Make local connections.Meet people you can swap ideas with beyond the morning.
- Keep the room pitch-free.We’re here to share and help each other. Follow up separately if you want to talk about working together.
Tea, coffee and a proper conversation.
This is a small group, with time to get to know each other and talk about where we’re each at with AI.
We’ll share experiments, tools, questions and experiences. You can contribute what you know and ask about what you don’t.
You don’t need a polished presentation or a clever introduction. Just come ready to join in.
Come and pull up a chair.

Before you book.
Do I need to know anything about AI?
No. Beginners are welcome, alongside people who already use AI in their business. Come with your questions.
Is this a training workshop?
It’s an informal network-and-learn morning. The format is conversation and sharing experience, rather than a structured course.
Can I promote my business?
You can introduce yourself and get to know people. The meeting stays pitch-free. If someone wants to know more about your services, you can follow up afterwards.
I’ve already booked through Heidi. Do I book again?
No. There is no need to buy a second ticket.
How do I access the member forum?
Sign in to the existing member forum to continue the conversation between meet-ups.
Not this time?
There’ll be another.
