AI Crash Course for Small Businesses — Brixton
Learn how to use AI for your business.
If everyone around you seems to have worked out how to use AI and you're quietly none the wiser, this is for you.
Gerald Vanderpuye, founder of Impact Brixton, runs a fast, practical session on what these tools can do for a small business.
Learn what's real, what's worth your time, and how to use it before you leave the room.
~ What you'll cover ~
What AI can and can't do for a business like yours, honestly
The handful of tools worth knowing, and which to ignore
Prompting that gets a usable answer
~ Who it's for ~
Complete beginners. If you've never used any of this, you're exactly who this hour is designed for. If you already use it daily, you'll find it slow — come at 14:00 instead.
~ What's next ~
Stay for the afternoon session — free
The crash course hour is the on-ramp for Brixton Community Build Day running 14:00-17:00. Learn what's possible at 13:00, then stick around for a build sprint where you make a real thing for your business. You'll even have event mentors circulating to help you troubleshoot, and a chance to hang out at the BCC Bar on site afterwards.
One thing to do: Build Day takes its own registration, so booking this hour doesn't hold you a place. Sign up here.
(Build Day is free and open to anyone, capped at 50 — book now rather than on the day.)
