There’s a lot of hype out there around what Generative AI/LLMs can do for us, but sometimes the promise doesn’t match the reality. So we’ve found 4 amazing product leaders who will tell a short story about how they are actually using GenAI to accelerate their day to day work and the lessons they learned along the way.Join us from 5.30pm at AcademyEx in Grafton or from 6pm on the Google Meet livestream.

And if you do sign up but can no longer make it please update your RSVP to free space for those who can. Big thanks to Perrin and AcademyEx for hosting this event!
