AI Workshop: set up AI in a day

Often booked as a same-day add-on to the keynote

The keynote plants the idea. The workshop does the installation, a hands-on session where the room leaves with AI actually set up and running, not just notes.

  • Set up AI guardrails and a simple AI policy
  • Configure AI to push back and tell the truth, not just agree
  • Build a prompt library for their most common tasks
  • Use AI for client comms, content, research and decisions, safely
  • Walk away with everything installed and tested, not just explained
Works standalone for leadership teams and PD days, or as a full-day add-on after a keynote: the what in the morning, the how in the afternoon.

Questions organisers ask

Frequently asked questions

Because the session is built for your profession and its compliance world, it is honest about where AI helps and where it does not, and the room leaves with prompts, workflows and templates, not just notes. Adam is practical, not a futurist.

Yes, always. Every session is shaped before Adam walks on stage. He researches the industry, the conference theme and the room's typical AI experience. The framework is consistent. The examples, language and case studies are specific to your audience.

The keynote is the main-stage session (45–60 min) that shifts thinking and sends the room away with prompts. A breakout is a shorter, focused concurrent session for a smaller room. The workshop is hands-on, where participants install and use the tools during the day. Many organisers book a keynote plus a workshop.

Keynotes run 20–90 minutes, breakouts are typically 30–45 minutes, and workshops run half-day (3 hours) or full-day (6 hours). Adam works within whatever suits the event.

Yes. The focus is always practical application and clear thinking, not coding or configuration. If someone can use email, they can apply what Adam teaches. Sessions are designed for mixed experience levels.

Adam is based on the Sunshine Coast, Queensland, and speaks nationally across Australia and internationally. Travel is factored into the booking.

Practical AI resources built for their industry, ready to put to work at their desk straight after, not slides to file and forget. Most attendees report meaningful time savings within the first week of applying what they learn.

Yes, and it works well. A common format is a keynote on the main stage followed by a half-day or full-day workshop for a smaller group the same or following day. Adam can advise the right format on a brief call.

Yes: finance and broking, accounting and advisory, legal, property, insurance and wealth, plus consultants and professional services firms. If your sector isn't listed, get in touch and the session can be shaped to suit.

The simplest way is the contact form or a brief call. Keynotes start from $10,000 +GST. Breakouts start from $8,000 +GST and workshops are priced on format, with plus travel and accommodation. Most events book around six months ahead, with one to two months the practical minimum, so it is always worth asking.
