Location: Freedom Works Brighton, Barts House

We’re super excited to announce our October session of WordUp, where we’ll be joined by a true WordPress legend giving a fantastic talk on **why we should embrace AI instead of fearing it will replace us**.

The (infamous?) **Andrew Palmer** is coming to see us! And his value-packed talk is all about how creatives needn’t fear AI is going to take their jobs. Rather help them get better, **more profitable work which they can complete quicker, utilising AI** and their own skill sets.

Andrew is also going to share his journey from Web Development to Product Development, including the launch of Bertha Ai in September 2021 and now, with Atarim, building a team of AI Agents that are not your usual AI Yes Men and Women, but are here to advise, correct and enhance your workflow.

**This is gonna be a banger folks! RSVP ASAP!**

WordUp Brighton isn’t just about talks, it’s about **community**. We want to hear your ideas! Whether it’s topics you’d like covered, how you think you can contribute, speakers you’d love to see, or formats you’d find valuable, this is your chance to help shape the future of WordUp Brighton.

**Want to get involved?** Everyone is welcome - speakers, helpers, idea merchants: ping us on the form here: **[https://wordupbrighton.uk/](https://wordupbrighton.uk/)**
