What a fantastic morning in Bristol today for the Intuit More with AI Tour, in partnership with the British Chambers of Commerce! 👏

It was great to bring our members and local businesses together for a morning of practical workshops, live demonstrations and expert advice, exploring how AI can be used in everyday business.

Thank you to our hosts, We The Curious, and to Intuit and the British Chambers of Commerce for making the event possible 🤝

A special thanks to our excellent speakers, Marcus Langreiter from Business West, and Joel Gladwin from Intuit, for sharing their knowledge and helping businesses get hands-on with AI tools.

Thank you also to Ben Masheder, who spoke on our Tech Adoption for Growth programme. If you’re interested in finding out more, visit: https://www.smartsurvey.co.uk/t/EOIJune26/

With AI moving quickly, opportunities to explore what’s available, ask questions and understand how these tools could work for your business are more valuable than ever. We hope everyone left with fresh ideas and practical takeaways to put into action.

Thanks again to everyone who came along! 💡
