AI in practice

Part of the AI Sprint: six weeks of events across Guernsey, 1 October to 12 November 2026.

What this session is

Not sure how you can use AI in your business? Looking for ideas? Don't know where to start?

This event will inspire you.

Businesses will take the floor to share how they're actually using AI, in their own words. Each gets 7–10 minutes to share what they've built and what they've learned. Time permitting, there's audience Q&A, a networking interval, and a closing panel with all the speakers.

Facilitated by Andrew Essa, Fairhaven Growth Partners

Speakers

Hear directly from the businesses putting AI into practice:

• Rory Steel — BDO, on why most organisations are wasting the Copilot licences they're already paying for.
• Rachael Cumberland Dodd — Marketing Dept, on using AI to mine your clients' own words for what makes you worth choosing.
• HFL — Max Hamon and the team unpack LLM gateways and what it takes to run models locally.
• Carey Olsen — a member of their AI committee will share how the firm is approaching AI

More speakers will be added as they're confirmed — check back before the event for the full line-up.

Who it is for
Anyone curious what businesses are actually doing with AI — no prior experience needed.

What you will leave with

• Real examples of AI in use, not just theory

• Direct access to ask the businesses behind them your own questions

• Ideas you can take back and try in your own organisation

About the AI Sprint

The Guernsey AI Sprint is an island-wide programme, led by the G8, bringing together businesses, organisations, and individuals to explore, learn, and act on artificial intelligence. From October 1st to November 12th, we'll run workshops, talks, hackathons, and hands-on challenges designed to move Guernsey from AI curiosity to AI confidence.
