Programme Focus

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.

Between Sessions, Visit the Kent AI Lounge

The Kent AI Lounge will give delegates the opportunity to connect with businesses and specialists working across AI strategy, marketing, automation, cybersecurity, digital transformation, customer engagement, data, training and business growth.

As AI adoption accelerates, many organisations are looking for practical, user-friendly guidance around questions such as:

  • Where can AI genuinely save time and improve productivity?
  • Which processes should businesses automate first?
  • How can teams use AI safely and responsibly?
  • What are the risks around data, compliance and security?
  • How do organisations choose the right tools and partners?

The Kent AI Conference has been designed to help businesses navigate these challenges with confidence, combining practical conference content with access to trusted regional expertise, technology providers and real-world business insight.
