Most of the conversation about AI is happening in Sydney boardrooms and Silicon Valley podcasts. Not a lot of it is aimed at businesses in Orange, Dubbo, or Bathurst trying to work out if any of it actually applies to them. That’s what this session is for.

Join Mitch Colton from Colton Computer Technologies for a relaxed, open discussion about where AI is at right now, what’s genuinely useful, what’s overhyped, and how businesses in Central West NSW are already putting it to work. No vendor pitch. No 80-slide deck. Just a good conversation, a drink in hand, and some practical takeaways you can use on Monday morning.

We’ll be covering:

  • What AI can realistically do for a small or medium-sized business right now

  • Where people are seeing real time savings and where they’re not
  • The risks worth knowing about before you dive in
  • How to figure out where to start if you haven’t yet
  • Your questions, answered honestly

Drinks and nibbles provided.
