Bridging the gap: SMEs and AI
A conversation with SBX
AI can feel big, expensive and out of reach. But it doesn’t have to be.
At this morning tea, we’ll be joined by SBX’s Sue to have a real conversation about what small and mid-sized businesses actually need from AI and what’s just noise.
We will unpack common fears around cost, trust and complexity and show how AI can drive sales, reduce admin and improve decision-making without needing a massive tech team. With real examples from industries like hospitality, retail and services, this session is practical, not theoretical.
