Why hire when you can automate?

How does automation and AI make back-office work easier and more efficient? No matter the industry, this will show how AI can free up time.

This includes a talk on using AI to save teams time, reduce errors, and focus on more important work. There will be a menu of fresh pizza and drinks. This will provide the opportunity to informally network with other SMEs in the Health, Performance and Wellbeing areas. This event is aimed to help you make connections and grow your circle; all with a glass of bubbles.
