Nottingham small business owners invited to talk AI at netwalk event

Small Business Britain and BT are bringing their next ‘NetWalk’ to Nottingham this month, to help boost skills around some of the hottest technology topics for small businesses today, artificial intelligence (AI) and cyber security.

Small business owners from across the area can join a one-hour ‘NetWalk’ on 24 September at the Forest Recreation Ground, where they will hear practical tips from experts and small businesses leading the way on the latest technology updates.

This will include cyber security advice from specialised experts at BT and officers at Nottinghamshire Police, as well as tips on how AI can transform operations, save time and boost creativity.

“AI is not just for big tech companies. It is transforming the way small businesses operate every day, helping business owners save time, make smarter decisions, and unlock new opportunities for growth,” said Michelle Ovens CBE, CEO and founder of Small Business Britain.

“This NetWalk gives entrepreneurs a unique chance to meet and connect with other businesses in similar situations and pick up some really practical technology tips, from those leading the way across Cyber Security and AI.”

Chris Sims, chief commercial officer, UK Business at BT, said: “NetWalks provide small businesses with the perfect environment to connect and learn. This Nottingham event will give participants the chance to meet AI experts, discuss opportunities and challenges, and discover how embracing AI can increase efficiency, creativity, and growth in their businesses.”

Participants will meet AI experts Matt Hughes and Kristian Downer, ask questions during the Netwalk, and book short one-on-one masterclasses. Cybersecurity officers from BT and Nottinghamshire Police force will also be available to give practical advice on protecting businesses from online threats.

The event will finish with refreshments at local business the Homemade Cafe.
