Our October Colwyn Bay Speaker is... Tom Burke β¨
Tom runs Digilyse, a North Wales consultancy that helps small businesses figure out which of the tools they already pay for are quietly hiding AI agents nobody told them about. Before going independent, he ran national tech clusters at M-SParc, supporting 80+ founders across Wales. Allergic to AI hype. Believes the boring answer is usually the right one.
His talk will be about how most AI-for-business advice is selling you something new. The actual time-savings live inside the tools you already pay for, if you know where to look. Tom walks through three patterns he sees in every small business audit, sets up a Claude project end-to-end so you can see what it looks like in practice, and flags the one trap most SMEs fall into when they decide it's time to "do AI". No buzzwords, no decks full of robot hands, no $25k enterprise tools.
