AI in Business: What Actually Works
Coaley Peak × Foundervine · Free, with registration approval
An evening for business owners who want to put AI to work.
Join us at Foundervine Spaces, Canada Water, for practical ideas, fireside chats, audience Q&A and networking. Explore where AI can help in your business, how customers find you through AI search, and how to use it safely.
No technical background needed. Bring one real task or question from your business.
Three parts, one evening
Where AI actually saves time and money: Ethan Clarke-Wooster opens with everyday tasks AI can help with, where it falls short, and how to choose a useful first step.
Being found in AI search: brand, SEO, GEO and AIO in plain English. Explore how customers find businesses through ChatGPT, Gemini and Google's AI answers, how to check what these tools say about your business, and which changes to make first.
The people side: using AI safely: a fireside chat with Dr. Jonathan Ashong-Lamptey on client data, decisions you can explain and defend, and bringing your team with you.
Audience Q&A and networking follow the conversation, with time to meet other owners and discuss your own business challenges.
More fireside chats to be announced.
Who it is for
Business owners, founders, directors and managers responsible for improving how their business works. Whether you are already using AI or just getting started, the evening is designed around practical business questions.
