Connecting local employers to AI support, skills and innovation pathways

Connected AI Conference

Connected AI is a practical, business-focused conference designed to support organisations at every stage of their artificial intelligence (AI) journey. The event brings together key partners from across Northern Ireland’s AI support ecosystem in a single, collaborative setting.

Created specifically for local employers and SMEs, the conference is ideal for anyone curious about how AI could benefit their business — from early exploration to real-world implementation. The programme will feature expert speakers, inspiring case studies, and interactive breakout sessions tailored to different levels of AI maturity.

Whether you are:

just beginning to explore AI,
looking to trial new tools and technologies, or
considering responsible deployment, ethics, and governance,

Connected AI will help you understand what support is available and identify practical next steps.

Attendees will:

hear directly from business leaders already applying AI in practice,
connect with education providers and ecosystem partners who support innovation and upskilling, and
leave with a clearer pathway from curiosity to real capability.
