The week, hour by hour.

An in-person practical introduction to Microsoft Copilot for charities that want to save time and work more efficiently. No experience needed, and nothing to buy. The session covers what is actually changing in AI versus hype, what Copilot is across the Microsoft ecosystem, real charity use cases, hands-on practice, and practical next steps for safe, responsible adoption. Led by Graham Hoskings, Senior AI Business Solutions Engineer at Microsoft. Organised by Tech4Good South West.

AI is transforming the way tech companies contract, from auto-generated terms of service to AI-powered procurement tools and algorithmic pricing. But the law hasn't caught up, and the risks are real. This session cuts through the hype with practical, no-jargon guidance on the commercial and contractual issues every tech business needs to get right, including who owns what AI creates and how to handle IP when your product trains on or generates content.

Three short tech talks from Gloucestershire AI companies exploring what the future looks like with AI in products, what is possible now that wasn't two years ago, and the risks to be aware of. Chaired by Prof Gaven Smith, with talks from Simon Smith (Ripjar), James Campbell (Nimbus) and Mark Adams (TrustGraph), followed by the chance to network with the speakers.
