Worthing & Adur Digital Forum

Worthing & Adur Digital Forum

We are excited to announce that Worthing & Adur Chamber, Freedom Works & Barclays Eagle Labs have come together to launch the brand new Worthing & Adur Digital Forum. The idea was born from a passion to bring this ever-evolving sector together to share knowledge and learn from each other.

The first event starts with a bang! The three partners have curated a fantastic lineup of speakers which will be a panel of experts in all things AI. The three panellists will cover how you can use AI in your business, how AI can be used to save time and the risks, opportunities, threats and future of AI. The session will be facilitated by Catherine Howe, Chief Executive of Adur & Worthing Council who really gets the whole digital landscape.

The session will be run in the Auditorium at Worthing Library. We have 60 spaces available and this event will be a first come / first served basis - so, register today to reserve your space as entrance to this event will be limited!
