‍What to expect

The session opens with a hands-on deep dive led by James Grant, co-founder of AI consultancy iwantmore.ai. James and his team work at the sharp end of AI adoption for businesses right now — so rather than a high-level overview of what AI could do, this session is about what you can actually do with it. Expect practical, accessible tools and approaches across sales, operations, buying, logistics and marketing — wherever you are on the learning curve.

Following James's session, the floor opens for a structured Q&A and open discussion: a chance to share what you're already experimenting with, ask the questions you might not want to raise in front of your manager, and learn from peers across different parts of the industry.
