WHY NOW?

Do you relate to any of these
"business anxieties"?

🔍

"Beginner-level" isn't enough anymore

I've had enough of "How to start with ChatGPT." I need concrete strategies to embed AI into my business and generate real profit.

💡

Jargon that never reaches the shop floor

I need answers on boosting productivity in non-IT departments — sales, admin, planning — not engineer-focused talk.

🖥️

Online sessions leave you just "listening"

Online seminars are convenient, but without real energy and direct Q&A, insights never get applied to your own business.

📈

The urgent fear of falling behind competitors

While competitors achieve massive efficiency gains with AI, I don't know where to start — and feel our market value slipping.

End that "anxiety" at our in-person event in Kagawa.

Find the "direct energy" and "real answers" you simply can't get through a screen.
