Regional and rural businesses are invited to attend the AI Forum on Friday, November 15 to discover how the latest cutting-edge technologies can be applied to their day-to-day operations to solve simple problems, optimise processes and drive growth.
With keynote addresses and panel discussions, the forum will host demonstrations by industry and business leaders on how productivity and innovation are being driven by AI.
The forum will explore the transformative nature of AI and smart technology for regional Victorian small- to medium-sized businesses and show how it can be used to deliver efficiencies and build competitive advantage.
While AI products and platforms are increasingly accessible, navigating the scale and scope of products available on the market and keeping up with the advancements in technology is challenging.
The forum will help business owners navigate the challenges and risks around AI and illustrate how businesses are using it safely and responsibility to deliver simple benefits and gains.
Simon Wilson, founder of the Australian Regional AI Network (ARAIN) and CEO of energy efficiency platform RedGridGPT, will speak at the forum alongside Edward Barraclough (founder of automated flight-app Drone-Hand) and Stef Cola (founder of Ligantic, an innovative digital solution creating platform).
ARAIN is based at the Morwell Innovation Hub and is one of four AI Adopt Centres supported by the Federal Government. ARAIN provides practical advice and education on AI applications for regional businesses across Gippsland.
Drone-Hand is the first Australian-made AI driven flight-app created to support livestock farmers to save time and money in an industry facing growing challenges.
Ligantic’s platform allows business owners without a technical background to create their own digital solutions and automate processes in minutes.
The AI forum is hosted by Regional Development Australia (RDA) Melbourne and will be held at the La Trobe University Bendigo Campus.
“Navigating AI can be challenging and that’s what we want to achieve with this forum — to demystify AI for regional and rural businesses and show them how it’s being used and how it can be adopted into day-to-day operations,” RDA chair Steve Kozlowski said.
