AI For Business

September 3, 2026 1:00 PM - 4:30 PM (NZST)

Description

AI for Business - delivered by Nelson AI Sandbox

A hands-on half-day workshop for people who know AI matters but aren't sure where to start.

Everyone's talking about AI. Far fewer people know where to actually begin, and the noise makes it worse. This half-day cuts through it. You'll get practical tools and real examples you can use the same week, taught in plain language with no assumed knowledge.

Who it's for: business owners, managers and teams in Marlborough who want to use AI properly, whatever their sector. No prior AI experience needed.

What we'll cover:

•    The basics of using AI tools in your day-to-day work

•    Practical tools and real examples you can put to use straight away

•    Keeping your business data private

•    Using AI safely, and spotting when it gets things wrong

•    Where to start, and how to keep going after the workshop

You'll leave able to use AI in your organisation, not just talk about it. 


About the Nelson AI Sandbox

The Nelson AI Sandbox is a not-for-profit community AI hub. In March 2024 it opened the world's first walk-in AI space: somewhere anyone can turn up, ask questions and get hands-on help with AI, free of charge. Since then it has worked face to face with more than 6,000 people and 250 organisations across the top of the South Isaland, through drop-in sessions, workshops and outreach.
