Northamptonshire business leaders AI Bridge Solutions and Firstname Communications, today announced a partnership event that will enable businesses to cut through the tech hype and leverage artificial intelligence for real commercial growth. AI Live Labs is a high-impact, morning event designed specifically for the regional B2B sector.
Set for 2nd September, the session will show local business owners, directors, and managers precisely how AI can save them time, protect their bottom line, and unlock new revenue streams. It will deliver real ideas and real results, in real time.
The event will show businesses how to stop wasting money on generic AI tools and learn exactly how to convert the technology into measurable revenue and reduced operational costs. This will be done in three distinct, practical segments:
- The AI revolution in action: A live demonstration showing what current AI tools can actually deliver, right now.
- Where AI meets PR: How businesses can use dominate the AI searches that define B2B buying with authentic, human PR
- The Live Labs Live Build: A live, real-time build of an AI-based application tailored for a business, proving how quickly these tools can be deployed.
"There is a lot of noise around AI right now, but business leaders want to know two things: how does this save me money, and how does this make me money?" said Kevin Quirk, founder, AI Bridge Solutions. "AI Live Labs is designed to answer those questions, in real time, showing Northamptonshire firms how to work with AI and get real results."
“More than 50% of B2B purchasing journeys start with AI. For tech services or products, that reaches more than 90%,” said Crawford Warnock, director, Firstname Communications. “The biggest factor that determines if a business turns up in those responses is earned media. PR is how your business is cited, seen and trusted in the age of AI.”
