Your team is already using AI. The question is whether they're using it well. AI for Business is academyEX's online learning platform built to change that, giving organisations across New Zealand the skills to use AI confidently and effectively. Join Brielle Raven for a live walkthrough and see exactly what's inside, see how it works, ask questions, and make up your own mind.

Funding your Master’s may be more achievable than you think. From scholarships covering up to 50% of fees to earlybird pricing, employer sponsorship, and StudyLink, there are several ways to reduce the cost of study. With the Master of Technological Futures and the Master of Change and Organisational Resilience both starting on 24 September 2026, now is the time to understand what support you may be eligible for before key deadlines pass.

A practical introduction to AI for creative professionals

AI is becoming part of everyday business but the tools, terminology and risks can be hard to assess. This session will help you understand what generative AI is, what different AI tools are out there and where they may support your creative business.

You will explore the strengths and limitations of AI, the differences between common types of tools and the key considerations around privacy, accuracy and responsible use. The focus is on helping you make informed decisions about what tool to choose.

Pedagogy, the art, science, and profession of teaching, rests on assumptions about what students need to learn, why they need to learn it, and how that learning takes place. The growing presence of AI challenges us in all three spaces.
This session explores how AI changes pedagogy. It will provide attendees with a clearer framework for thinking about the relationship between AI and teaching and new perspectives on the role of AI in the classroom.

Automation changed how we work. Agentic AI is changing who does the work.
