'AI in Action: Real Tools, Real Time Savings'

Delivered by Anjani Sharma, Founder of AI Transformers

AI doesn't have to mean a big IT project or a developer on staff. In this session, Anjani Sharma walks through five practical ways small businesses in Worthing and beyond are already using AI from research and content tools like NotebookLM, to Claude as a day-to-day assistant, voice agents that handle calls and bookings, and scheduled automations that quietly save hours every week.

Packed with real examples and use cases you can try the same day, this is a no-jargon, practical session for businesses at any stage of their AI journey, whether you've never touched it or you're already experimenting.

11:45am - 12:30pm

We live in an era of superabundance. Every corner of the internet is crammed with content. Every brand is fighting to stand out. So how do you rise above all the noise?
