Bristol AI Shed 2026 Finale! Practical AI for you and your business

The last Bristol AI Shed of 2026, in the Watershed cinema, built around what actually worked this year rather than what might. Doors 08:30 with coffee and breakfast, introductions and AI show-and-tell from guests at 09:10, then a panel at 09:35 on where AI made a real difference in people's work and businesses, and where it did not or should not. Demo stations run alongside.

On the panel: Kian Bakhtiari, founder of The People and a Forbes writer; David Sequiera, Global Executive VP at Skai; and Abby Salmon, UK&I People and Talent Partner at First Table. Co-founders Jake Hewlett and Stephen Honight host. Sponsored by VWV and Albert Goodman. 18+, breakfast included. Sold out as of 3 November; the organisers ask anyone who can no longer come to release their place for the waitlist.

Why go: the panel brief is unusually honest for an AI event, with what didn't work getting airtime. Best for Bristol professionals putting AI into day-to-day work rather than building models.
