All dedicated to help you get clarity on what AI means for their organisation – and how to start using it effectively.
We are pleased to announce that the opening keynote at the Kent AI Conference will be delivered by Ashley Jeggo, AI Workforce SMB Sales Lead at Microsoft UK&I.
Ashley works with organisations across the UK to help them understand how artificial intelligence can transform productivity, collaboration and business performance. In this opening session, Ashley will share practical insights into how businesses are already using AI in the workplace today, and what organisations of all sizes should be thinking about as AI rapidly becomes part of everyday working life.
This session will set the tone for the day, offering a clear and practical view of how AI is moving from hype to real-world impact for businesses.
Unlocking AI: Opportunities for business to thrive & survive
The Kent AI Conference is a new, business-first event created to help organisations across Kent understand and harness the real, practical opportunities of artificial intelligence. Delivered in association with Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce, and shaped with programme support from Select Technology and Microsoft, the conference offers clear, accessible guidance for leaders who want to use AI to improve performance, productivity and growth.
This is not a technical developer event. It’s a practical, confidence-building day designed for business executives, managers and teams who need clarity on what AI means for their organisation – and how to start using it effectively.
Across the day, delegates will hear from business leaders, AI practitioners and technology experts who are already putting AI to work in organisations of all sizes. Sessions will explore how AI is transforming everyday productivity, how businesses can begin adopting AI tools with confidence, and what leaders need to consider when developing an AI strategy.
The programme will highlight real-world case studies, practical demonstrations of AI in action, and important conversations around data, security and responsible AI. Alongside the practical applications, the conference will also explore the wider socio-economic impact of AI and the bigger picture of how artificial intelligence is reshaping industries, jobs and the future of work.
Join us at the Kent AI Conference to gain practical insights, hear from leading experts, and discover how your organisation can harness AI to work smarter, compete more effectively and prepare for the future.
