Name: AI in Practice Social: Happy Hour & Dinner at Upside on Moore
Start: 2025-12-09T22:30:00.000Z
Location: Upside On Moore Food Hall

**Time & Date:** 1 PM Thursday 13 November 2025
AI adoption is accelerating — but most organizations still struggle to pinpoint where it truly adds value. Many pilots start with enthusiasm and end with uncertainty. This session is designed to close that gap.
In this 45-minute, hands-on **AI in Practice Lab**, you’ll learn a structured way to identify high-impact AI use cases and measure real return on investment — moving from experimentation to evidence-based execution.
💡 **What Your'll Learn**
• **Spotting High-Value Use Cases:** Go beyond novelty. Learn a simple framework to evaluate opportunities by feasibility, impact, and alignment with strategic goals.
• **Mapping Pain Points to AI Solutions:** Identify where inefficiencies, repetitive tasks, or data bottlenecks can be addressed with automation or augmentation.
• **Quantifying ROI:** Discover methods to translate AI outcomes into measurable metrics — time saved, quality improved, costs reduced, or risks mitigated.
• **Building a Business Case:** See examples of how leading teams communicate AI value to decision-makers and secure long-term buy-in.
You’ll leave with practical templates and examples to evaluate your own use cases — and a clear methodology to track results that matter.
👥 **Who It's For**
• Innovation, strategy, and operations leaders responsible for defining AI priorities or reporting on outcomes.
• Department heads and project owners seeking clarity on where AI can make the biggest impact.

🧩 **About the Series**
**AI in Practice Labs** are short, focused workshops hosted by the *AI in Practice* community — a cross-functional network of AI builders, domain experts, and professionals committed to making AI work in the real world. Each Lab combines practical frameworks, peer insights, and hands-on exercises so you leave ready to apply what you learn.

🧠 AI in Practice Lab – From Hype to Hard Value: Use Cases & ROI

Online event

📊 **AI in Practice Lab – Real Use Cases for Project Managers**
🗓️ **Time & Date:** 11:00 AM Tuesday, November 25, 2025
📍 **Location:** Online
AI isn’t just for data teams or developers — it’s rapidly becoming an essential tool for project managers. From automating updates to improving stakeholder communication, AI can take repetitive project work off your plate so you can focus on strategy and delivery.
In this Lab, we’ll explore practical, real-world ways project managers are already using AI — and show how you can do the same with tools you likely already have.
💡 **What You’ll Learn**
• **Smarter Summaries:** How to use AI to generate project briefs, meeting notes, and progress reports in minutes.
• **Task & Timeline Management:** Automating action item tracking and follow-ups using ChatGPT, Copilot, or Notion AI.
• **Risk & Issue Tracking:** How to use AI to flag blockers early, summarize risks, and surface key dependencies.
• **Stakeholder Communication:** Creating clear, on-brand updates and dashboards that adapt to different audiences.
This is a **hands-on, discussion-driven session** — we’ll share real templates and examples you can try live, and help you build repeatable workflows that save hours each week.
🔁 **About AI in Practice Labs**
AI in Practice Labs are short, focused sessions where professionals learn how to put AI to work — not just talk about it.
Each Lab blends live demos, peer discussion, and take-home templates to help you move from prompting to practice.
