The AI Exchange is coming to Bournemouth and Christchurch

Businesses across Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole are invited to attend The AI Exchange – a free and informal workshop designed to help local business owners and leaders explore the opportunities and challenges that AI presents for small and medium-sized businesses.

Hosted by business advisory firm Evolve and funded by BCP Council, The AI Exchange will take place on 9 February at Patch, Bournemouth, 08.30-11.00 and on 2 March at SmartBase, Christchurch, 08.30-11.00, with spaces limited to 20 participants per event.

Unlike traditional seminars, The AI Exchange will offer hands-on learning through open and facilitated discussion, peer-to-peer learning and suggest practical tips to take back into the workplace. Each session will bring together local business leaders to explore how AI is being used, the challenges and ethical questions it raises, and the tools that are making a difference.

Attendees will be encouraged to bring their laptops and tablets and share their own experiences and ideas – whether they’re AI-curious or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT and automation software. The sessions will be co-hosted by Evolve’s David Mutton and Dan Griffiths from Interpin Solutions, who will guide discussion and provide technical know-how.

“AI isn’t coming – it’s already here,” said David Mutton, Business Advisor at Evolve. “But too many business owners are either overwhelmed by the hype, or unsure where to begin. 

“These interactive events are about helping to cut through the noise and figuring it out together – in a relaxed, collaborative space with others in the same boat, facing the same AI challenges and opportunities.”

The events are free to attend and open to SMEs based in the BCP Council area.
