Business leaders across Milton Keynes and the wider South Midlands are being invited to explore how artificial intelligence can deliver real operational impact at the Accelerating AI Conference.
The AI conference takes place on 9 June at the Ridgeway Centre in Milton Keynes, bringing together founders, executives and digital leaders looking to move beyond AI experimentation and into practical implementation. The event is free to attend and aims to help organisations understand how artificial intelligence can support productivity, decision making and long-term growth.
The conference returns following a successful event last year that attracted senior decision-makers from across the region, and organisers say the focus remains firmly on helping businesses understand how AI can deliver measurable results.
Andy Paul, managing director at Fliweel.tech, said the event is designed to give leaders clarity on how artificial intelligence can move from concept to real business value.
Andy said: “AI is no longer something businesses can simply watch from the sidelines. It is already reshaping how organisations operate, and leaders need to understand how to use it in ways that genuinely improve productivity and decision-making.
“What makes this event different is the focus on real examples. Attendees will see how AI is being applied inside organisations today and how businesses can begin introducing it in practical, manageable ways.”
Unlike many technology conferences that focus on theory, the Accelerating AI Conference centres on practical deployment strategies and real-world case studies.
Sessions explore topics such as AI agents and automated workflows, Microsoft Copilot and workplace AI tools, AI adoption roadmaps for SMEs, process automation to reduce manual workloads, and the data foundations organisations need to support effective artificial intelligence. The programme also addresses responsible AI governance, helping business leaders understand how to introduce the technology safely while maintaining trust and compliance.
Lionel Naidoo, managing director at Dragon Information Systems, said the conference gives business leaders the opportunity to see how organisations are already applying AI in real operational settings.
Lionel said: “Many businesses are curious about AI but struggle to see how it fits into their operations. Events like this help demystify the technology and show how it can be introduced in a practical and responsible way.
“For leaders, it’s about understanding what works in the real world and identifying where AI can support growth, efficiency and better decision making.”
Previous editions have attracted hundreds of senior leaders from across the region, reflecting the growing appetite among businesses to understand how emerging technologies can improve competitiveness and productivity.
